After 2 weeks of being gone, the doctor finally gave the okay for me to return home. Yea!!! It's so great to be back. As most everybody knows I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in July. I received my radioactive iodine treatment on September 6th and had to be sequestered from everyone until my radiation levels went down. Thanks to the geiger counter Stacie lent me, I can say for certain that I was shooting off those beta particles like crazy the first week or so. I stayed out in my "isolation rooms", which were all decked out thanks to my parents. They had magazines, flowers, TV, cards, food, and all kinds of other things that helped make my stay a little bit more tolerable! Of course they liked to give me a bad time as much as they could too. Here are signs in the bathroom were I was allowed to shower!


I sure missed my email, internet, satellite TV, and all the comforts of home. I did not however miss work much!!! I got caught up on my reading for the next 5 years!! My body scan came back clear, and I got to start my thryoid meds yesterday, so I'm finally on my way back to "normal".
