Mumble, Grumble, Thyroid Biopsy Monday
As you may all have figgered out by now, I'm not really happy UNLESS I have something to gripe about. *wicked grin*
Yeah, well, the hospital called yesterday and despite being AMAZINGLY helpful and accomadating, managed to make me happy be giving me something to gripe about in return.
The aspiration biopsy is scheduled for 9 AM. BUT - I have to be to the hospital at 7 AM!!! On a cold, frosty November Michigan morning! I am NOT a morning person! I don't DO mornings, especially COLD mornings!!! I'm supposed to be there the 2 hours early because I have to have blood drawn. What they hay??? WHY can't we do the blood draw Friday or even Saturday before noon?? But that's not all!
The night before I have to shower w/an anti-bacterial soap. Say what? My husband likes Zest so I haven't used any soap but Zest for the last 40+ years!!! I don't even know if Zest is an anti-bacterial soap or not - so I, who HATE to shop, must run into town and find an anti-bacterial soap. But that's STILL not all!!!
I have to shower again the next MORNING! The MORNING of that 9 AM procedure that I have to be at the hospital at 7 AM for that means I have to leave the house at least by 6:30 AM for. So I take this nice, hot shower - and then have to go out in a COLD, frosty, November Michigan MORNING at this unGodly 6:30 AM hour.
Mumble, grumble. Any one of these things is bad enough - but to go out in the COLD, after a nice, HOT shower, that early in the MORNING?? These guys are SADISTS! Cruel, mean, vicious SADISTIC demons, I tell you! I sure mustta been one mean, miserable, nasty witch in my previous life to deserve this!!!
Besides - I'm not a punctual person. I'm a procrastinator. I'm habitually late for everything. I'll be late for my own funeral. The hearse will have an accident. 6:30 in the morning???? 6:30 on a COLD Michigan morning?? Cruel and sadistic, I tell ya, CRUEL and SADISTIC. They HATE me!
Mumble, grumble.

Hmmmm, I hadn't thought about whether there's a thyroid connection to apnea....I've been hypothyroid for years but keep it stable with Rx with no problem, so......(?) Does anyone know if apnea could have caused thyroid problems?

Jan said:Is there a relationship between thyroid problems and Sleep Apnea? Recent bloodwork says that I am on the cusp of hypothyroidism and wondered if it might be related?
And Judy-- did you have your biopsy already?

Ha! You may be on to something, 99. I've always hated getting up in the morning and I'm always cold.
Yup, had the aspirations done Monday. Dx is inconclusive according to local pathologist. Mayo Endo called to give me Mayo's pathologist's report but I missed her call and won't know for sure 'til Monday what they have to say but she did say that they found the specimens to be adequate and things looked pretty good.

its the minerals in kelp that does it it is full of minerals and the iodine gets the thyroid going

Thanks, 99, but until I know what is going on w/my thyroid and these nodules I don't think I'm gonna rock the boat changing anything I'm doing for the time being. Obviously what I've been doing hasn't been doing the thyroid any favors but I don't want to take a chance of tipping the scale the wrong way.

My Mayo Endo called, God bless her heart. Mayo is SUCH a WONDERFUL place w/so many WONDERFUL, CARING doctors! But even at Mayo Dr Muthusamy is special. Anyway, the locals didn't feel they had enough cells to make a Dx one way or the other, but the Mayo pathologists did, and based on the local report Dr Muthusamy called the Mayo pathologist herself just to make sure. Results: benign. Wait and watch - do an ultrasund in a year to see if there is any change. I can live w/that!
