Scary, Susan.

I had the thyroid ultrasound this morning, which was normal. (Also, painful.) The endocrinologist called the afternoon and left a message saying my T3 and T4 levels were normal. But he also said my TSH level was outside the "normal" range but still below the standard for treatment, and I know several people who have TSH levels nowhere near what he said was the standard for treatment who were immediately given meds.

I'm going to have to see a different endocrinologist in January, anyway, because his office is going to stop taking my insurance at the end of this year.

Yikes, Susan! That is scary! I'm glad the house was empty!

Sheesh, Susan! How scary! Glad it turned out ok.

Hil, my friend has "normal" range thyroid levels that are definitely not normal for her, but it took a while for her to be diagnosed because the levels didn't seem off to most of the medical professionals she saw. Good luck with getting the help you need; sometimes you have to fight for it.

Heh. DH did it this time, but informed me that I'd done the same thing once before and he just didn't say anything about it.

We've made mutual vows to be more careful and are reconsidering the whole "leave inner door unlocked" thing.

Susan - that's so scary. Thank goodness it was just absentmindedness and not the criminal element.

Glad it turned out to be DH, Susan. Scary!

Hope the January endocrinologist is more helpful, Hil. That sounds frustrating.

Eeeep! Thud. Wibble. Brain broken

Hee! I was waiting for Teppy to see the picture and enjoy. Come visit Seattle, Teppy! People will tie you up! :)

I'm thinking of renting Love Actually for Christmas this year.

I adore that movie, and may be making it a holiday tradition--the first time I saw it was over a Thanksgiving break, and it totally put me in the "Christmas is coming!" mood.

Is it wrong that I want a beer after I get out of therapy today?

No. Is this the one who thinks you're an alcoholic, or was that the other one?

Eep, Susan, that's very creepy!!!

Glad things turned out okay, Susan.

Susan's adventure reminds me of the time my parents' place was burgled - a kid crawled in through the cat door into the garage and picked the lock on the connecting door then made off with the VCR and maybe a couple of other things, leaving muddy footprints all over the place in the process. My parents were away and my sister, the only one of us kids living there at the time, was staying with my grandmother. She happened to come home after the burglary to pick up something she had forgotten and though "why did Mom and Dad take the VCR with them?"

Eeeep! Thud. Wibble. Brain broken

Hee! I was waiting for Teppy to see the picture and enjoy. Come visit Seattle, Teppy! People will tie you up! :)

The Boy liked the picture, too. He was agog at Matisse's catsuit, and also said, "Oooh, Monk tied her!"

So, meara, were you a Santa (or Ms. Santa) the following night?
