Next Step

So quarantine will officially be done as of tomorrow ... I am so excited about that!!! I get to go back up to Salt Lake and have another scan done because according to the dr, the scans following a higher dose of iodine are much more accurate... Go figure! I already had an appt scheduled with my dr for Friday, so I will keep that and get the results then. I am so hoping that he says that I can go back on my medication! The dr that ordered the iodine for me thought I should have been able to start back on that on Sunday, but when I tried to confirm that with my dr, he still hasn't bothered to return my call.

Because the stuff makes me and everyone else nervous, Jason will be coming home Friday after work, which will give me time to decontaminate the house by scrubbing- not once but twice, everything I have touched. So, all the laundry has to be washed twice, the dishes, the bathroom etc. I am so looking forward to that. :S I will be working from home until Thursday, and will head back to the office after my dr appt on Friday. Although, depending on the news I may not be much good to them.... we will play that one by ear.

In other news, both chocolate and Dr Pepper have been ruined for me. Which may not be such a bad thing if you think about it. But it is so SAD! I had one M&M to celebrate that I didn't have to be on the nasty diet anymore and it tasted so horrible I had to spit it out and go brush my teeth. Blech! Normal things don't taste the same, but I expected that from last time. This goes way beyond that. :(

All in all the diet (Low iodine diet) isn't really all that bad, but it sucks when you don't have the energy to cook every night, and the worst part is just that it has so many things you CAN'T eat that you feel like there isn't ANYTHING you can eat. Feeling deprived is not a good motivation.

So, back to the waiting game!
