Post RAI scan yesterday
I went in for my post RAI Whole Body Scan yesterday. It took about 45 minutes. I didn't meet with a doctor or anything. The tech said that this scan was so that they would have something to compare the next scan with. I guess it shows where all the radiation went to and where it is working. Still shows the neck area. So I guess I will find out at my next doctor's appointment when the next scan will be. This scan was much easier than any of the others in that I didn't have to do any prep for it. I haven't been posting lately. Mainly my mind just doesn't feel quite right. I don't trust my thinking even. I feel really slow. I can even hear my words slurr. I think I'm getting better slowly but it will take awhile for the thyroid to build back up into my system. Depression has really set in. Don't get me wrong. I KNOW I am blessed. It's just a state of mind, a black feeling. I have dealt with it before and I know it will pass, but it's real. So I'm kind of just hanging on and waiting to feel better. I don't really feel like writing much. I don't like writing depressing thoughts or feelings. So I'm just going to hide out for awhile. Not feeling sorry for myself. Just this is how it is right now and I recognize it. Pretty sure my husband and boys are feeling it too. They are just keeping thier distance,*lol*. I am really looking forward to Justyn coming home from BYU Utah this weekend though. I have really missed him. He will be home for the summer, working and getting ready to serve a 2 year church mission.
