Busy today getting all my usual Friday stuff done, so tomorrow will be free.  The cleaning, some laundry, got to run get few things at the store. 

I'm happy, but a little nervous because after 2 years of Dr. visits I am finally going to a Endocronoligist (sp?). Or in my simple terms a Thyroid Dr.   I have had Hypothyroidism for about 15 years now.  And I have always known when it was not quite right.  And each time I felt that way I told the Dr., blood tests later. I was right and my medicine was adjusted. Well really a little over 2 years ago, I felt not quite right again.  But the blood tests showed normal again and again.  Even went to different Doctors (which only resulted in getting a crazy look). And no luck, they kept doing the same old test (TSH).  Well last month I got in with a wonderful woman Dr. at my regular family Dr.  I told her how I've felt.  So tired all the time, sleep troubles, aches and pains,  gaining weight which I have gradually gained 80+ pounds over 2 years  (and not being able to lose at all even though I've been on Weight Watchers). Plus lately I have felt like I have a swelling on my neck, and a feeling like a knot in my throat when I swallow.   She said well we need to check other things about your thyroid (T3, some kind of antibodies, and other things I can't even pronounce!) , and the swelling could be an irritation of the thyroid.  I could have hugged her, and really felt like crying.  Because someone listened to me!!!  And as a was long before I was right, I got a call saying the tests came back normal for the TSH (always does), but the other things came back as being out of whack.  And set me up with a Thyroid Dr.  I've got to be there at 7:30 am to get signed in.  The happiest I've been to go to a Dr. in my life.  (But nervous to) Because it's taken me a little over 2 years to get here.  And I'm praying they can change the awful way I've been feeling for so long now, and maybe I can fianlly start losing weight.  I pray that is will be as simple as changing my medicine or adding to what I'm already taking.  My family Dr mentioned something about a ultrasound on my neck, don't know if they will want to do that or not.

My husband has took off a day from work to take me, because I'm unfamiliar driving in the area where the Dr. is.  Make it the most of the trip he's going to take off a truck load of his recycling. Will bring in some money to finish up the deck. Which is coming along really well.  Been taking some pictures along that I have to post.  I beleive if we were thrown out in the middle of nowhere this man could build us a house, or something to live in.  How he plans this out in his head is a mystery to me.  It's been fun to watch, LOL! I'd be lost trying to build this thing!

Our 7 year wedding anniversary is on Sunday.  I bought him some kind of electric tool as a present.  It was one he had but had went bad awhile back.  LOL! I couldn't tell you what it is, I just knew what it looked like. He used it quite a bit so I know it's something he'll be happy with.  He mentioned to me he was taking me clothes shopping.  I'm thrilled!  Because with my weight gain of late I'm kind of limited on what I have.  I'm praying that will change after tomorrow and I can more easily lose what I've gained.  I'm feeling very positive about the entire thing.

Have a blessed day, and weekend all!

Hugs,
