specialist visit yesterday

Well, went in to the endocrinologist yesterday. My hyperthyroidism is actually worse now (according the the blood tests) than when they gave me the radiation treatment last month. They did say this might happen, as the thyroid releases all of its stored hormones as it dies. So another six weeks without any physical activity to protect my heart. Another six weeks of propranolol. Another six weeks and then I get to go in for another round of blood work and specialist visits.

And yes, I am sort of sad. I had hoped things would be on the upswing by now.

We have had two days of heavy rain, which has melted a lot of the heavy snow cover and turned everything into a sea of mud and water. We are expecting about twelve hours of sustained 50-60MPH winds tonight. So they are expecting widespread power outages as a result, as trees are expected to fall. I am hoping beyond the power of words to describe that we manage to keep our power here at home.
