So I had my baseline thyroid ultrasound today. It was probably the easiest test I've had in 2 years of testing. They smeared my throat with The Goop and took measurements of my beleaguered thyroid from every angle. I only had one small moment when she nearly gagged me with the darn wand by pressing directly on my Adam's, er, Eve's (?) apple with unnecessary force. I find out the results in a few days.
DearNurse also set up the rest of my bloodwork to be done at the clinic the same day as my big FOLLICLE SCAN! That will be done on Thursday. I finished up the last of my Femara last night, so now it's up to the ovary girls. Little miss righty is always the overachiever, so I'm betting on her. I'm back to charting again, and my temps are doing some crazy things. Let's hope that just means that my meds are doing what they are supposed to.
On a food note; you know that you are successful in your attempts to lower your sugar intake when unsweetened tea is just fine with you, natural, organic lemonade has to be cut half and half with water, and regular peanut butter makes your lips pucker from the sweetness. I find that I actually crave my wonderful, delicious Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter (no sugar added) over the regular stuff! It's especially good on slightly tart organic apples. Mmmmm. I think I'm going to have to compile that post of suggested healthy snacks soon. If you have any you'd still like to sneak in or recommend, please feel free! I may do a recipe one after that. Remember how I mentioned that I'm like Remy? Maybe I'm even worse. How I didn't pick a career in food, I don't know. I suppose another passion trumped that one. (The environment, children, animals and travel are all up there.)
We're off to try a new Mexican place tonight. We've got a great COUPON! Til later all.
