Update on Me (if anybody cares) The Dr's office called yesterday and said they'd scheduled an appointment for discussing taking care of my thyroid through radiation. I said OK. Then, the Radiologist called me an hour later and said he wanted to do it over the phone, and give me the radiation treatment today. So I talked with him for quite a while. He says I have Graves disease (updated : I previously said White's disease), and highly recommended the radiation treatment, although there are a couple of other options. After weighing out the options, I've decided to go ahead and do the radiation treatment, because it doesn't completely kill the thyroid. It just severely hurts it. I'll be taking a good dose of Iodine-131 , which has the sideaffect of not being around my unborn baby for a while, which in turn means staying away from Erica. That won't be fun.

It's a public blog (Thankfully!) so you do have access to it.
And my advice is to set up an RSS reader with all of these family blogs you want to keep in touch with. It makes it so you don't have to keep checking back with each individual blog to see if there's an update. You just go to the reader's web page, and it tells you what blogs etc. have updates and new posts.
I use and recommend Google reader, but there's lots of choices.
