Short Medical Update

Yesterday I received part of my results from my physical. And I have so much to report it is going to involve an entire pot of coffee to write and will probably put you to sleep after the first paragraph. But to give you a heads up, I started taking medication for Hypothyroidism today.

There are other things the doctor is still reviewing – other things that are really not freaking me out, really not – especially since it involves that little unimportant things called my spine and my aorta. Sister Runner Amy’s advice is that they should just cut my aorta out because aortas are superfluous just like appendixes.

Much, much more about the gory side of Runner Susan soon. I want the medication to be magic, but the doctor says it will be about three months before I see a noticeable difference – but let’s hope, for the Chef’s sake, we see it sooner. He doesn’t do psychormonal very well.

Susan, I hope you start feeling better really, really soon and that the aorta isn’t really an issue.

This was a real doctor, right? Not one of those scanvans.

Just remember – you are a very healthy person. Nothing can stop Runner Susan. And your metabolism is about to get sped up – woot! Focus on the good stuff.

Hope the medication helps. This seems to be an increasingly common ailment, which may bode well for the treatment. Strength in numbers and all that.

Suz,
You will be filling like a rock star soon. I am six weeks in and feel like somewhat of a rock star…maybe just a roadie, but hey I am getting there.

I don’t understand the medical prognosis, but I hope it get’s better all the same.

Yes, it was an MD, 21st Mom. And I hope it works fast because my next step is checking myself into a mental institution.

Sounds serious Susan, but there’s medication, so a cure. It’s more common now down here since they stopped putting iodine in milk. There’s a push to put it in bread. Hope you’re OK soon.
