To continue where I left off previously...
I went and had most of my tests done.
I went back to the doctor's office on Friday, 06/27/14.
Once more I did my thing in a cup.
The bladder infection is gone. Yeah! I tell the doctor that my back feels better. At the same time, it still tells me when I have to have to go #2.
The doctor tells me that my thyroid count is off. Another blood sample was taken.
My weight that day was 233 lbs. Three pounds in two weeks. Things still are not adding up.
I get the rest of my appointment taken care of. Before leaving one of the ultrasound tests is changed.
On Tuesday, 7/22/14, I was back at the doctor's office for my test results.
The doctor confirmed that yes I have a hypo-active (under active) thyroid. A prescription was sent to the pharmacy so I could start the process of getting my hormone levels straightened out. The prescription was for 25 mcg dose of Levothyroxine (The little peach colored pill in the pictures above.). I have to return to the doctor's office every 4-6 weeks until the hormone levels are right and consistent.
The only other thing that needed follow up is a cyst within my right ovary. An MRI was ordered.
That day at the doctor's office I weighed 234 lbs. Up a pound??? (When I went in on 06/27/14 it was right before my period when I should have been at my heaviest? Now I'm up one pound again???)
I took my first dose of Levothyroxine on Wednesday, 07/23/14. Boy! My world was clearer the very first day.
I'm now on a 50 mcg dose of Levothyroxine (The little white pill in the pictures above.). The world just keeps getting clearer. My body and mind are loving this. Slowly the fuzzy thinking and lethargy are dissipating. On this please trust me, this body has been getting rid of so much garbage literally. The boobs no longer have a shelf. Tops that fit are now fitting more loosely. I'm starting to be able to see the creases and wrinkles in the area of my feet and ankles. (The swelling in my ankles and feet started when I was sixteen. It has been the worst in the last five years or so. I'm ecstatic!)
I have, also, had the MRI done.
When I went back for my first blood test since starting the Levothyroxine, the doctor had the MRI results.
They do not believe that the cyst is cancerous and recommended wait and see. My doctor would like me to have an OBGYN take a look. Abba wants me to wait. I'm going to wait for now, until my body is adjusted and my thyroid is doing what it should be doing. This I will have to keep everyone informed on in the future.
In a couple weeks I will be going back to the doctor's office for another blood test. At that time, I will ask to get weighed. I'm anxious to see what the scale says.
Aligning this body with God's will has been an adventure filled with many ups and downs. God's gotten me through them. Every once in a while Abba and I will have a little discussion. This discussion is a check of where I'm at.
The discussion goes somewhat like this....Are you happier where you are at today or would you go back to where you were before you decided to pursue your dreams for the right reasons?
Before I made that decision, I wasn't living, I was just doing the doggie paddle. I had achieved some of my dreams, but didn't feel good about myself at all. Today I have peace and joy. That's more valuable than what I have given up.
I was so full of fear, stress and anxiety. I had a long way to go in the emotionally maturity department.
At that time, if Abba had told me all that I would go through to this point, I would have ran in the other direction as fast as I could have. THAT'S A FACT JACK!
I am glad that Abba's knowledge is far greater than mine and that I have had his guidance, love and support from then until now and into the future.
My path has been neither the roughest nor the smoothest.
When other people share their journeys with me, I am so blessed. It keeps where I am at in perspective and encourages me to keep moving forward towards the dreams that Abba has given me.
As I move forward, I will share my journey with you. I hope it blesses you too.
Okay, that's it for now. I've shared where I'm at physically. I've got other things to share....by the way my back doesn't tell me when I need to go #2 anymore. (I know you really wanted to know this! LOL)
Sweet Dreams Everyone,
I love you all. :-) XOXOXO
