Healthy Me

I seem to be stuck at the 17 pound weight loss point the last couple weeks.  I was hoping to have another ten pounds gone by our vacation but seeing how that is now just 2-1/2 weeks away, I should only hope for a few more at best. 

I did get a gallon of blood drawn the other day for all the different thyroid tests.  They couldn't do the Reverse T3 though.  Apparently, the lab the hospital uses doesn't do that test.  Surprised me!  It was irritating because if they'd told me that during registration - before I was in the chair with the band around my arm and a needle poised to strike - I might have gone to the other lab in town.  I'm not big on needles and having to do it again doesn't thrill me.  Besides, the person who drew the blood wasn't that great at it.  It hurt the entire time!  It felt like she'd shoved a pencil into my arm.  I actually got woozy and dropped my head.  They had to put my feet up. 

Now I wait for results.
