See These?

These are what will set me back to my life from tmr onwards!! 125mg each morning!

 

 

 

 

 

Went to do my scan this morning at 8plus. The impatient cab driver took almost an hour to reach SGH. He was probably so upset with himself for taking a passenger to SGH. He was banging his wheel, cursing, switching radio channels, tapping his fingers on papers... Just making noise to irritate me or smthg. But I was just bochap la. I'm too sick to be bothered. But it cost me $17.20 to reach SGH when it is usually hardly $11! God bless the driver. I wasn't too bothered but just can't help wonder why he was so impatient... I think he won't be enjoying his day very much. Aiya. I shld hv cough a few loud coughs at him with mucus and let him see the scar on my neck or pretend to faint after i alight or smthg. Haha.

Anyway, I went for the scan. I almost got a heart attack when the cashier wanted a payment of $400+ for the scan! That's when I asked "i tot it's included in the medisave since it's part of the radio-iodine treatment?" Smart me. Else I will burn another big hole in my pocket!

It's so cold especially after I changed into the "clothing" that you wear for scans cos no clothing underneath except panties. *shivers* And the scan is so long... 20min-30min plus waiting on that narrow "bed"?? And then wait for the person to bring me change and see doc. *shivers* COLD....

Doc analyzed the scan report for me. He says the radio-iodine is absorbed majorly at my neck area as I could see from the scan. He said that in actual fact it will continue to "kill" off the cells for next few months. And I will have to come back again 4 months later for another scan. Then he told me a horrifying fact... I probably gotta take radio-iodine a 2nd time to confirm that everything is clear 8mths from now. My gosh. I asked in a as calm manner as I knw... "Is it the same dosage? And I gotta stay in again?" I can't imagine going thru the "torment" of being in that cell again. Erks. And I supposed to go through a CT scan. Wat's tat? Is it the same as wat I had earlier? I dunno la.

And this all means, I can't get pregnant for the next 1 and a half yr. So it's not 6mths... Haiz... I shld gone thru all these 3 yrs ago........ Then now I would be a mother liao.... How sad... So all the married and mums-to-be, pls be happy you are mum and going to be mum earlier than me. :) Children are blessings from God. I believe God will bless me with children. Darling says, maybe in 1 and half yr's time, God will bless us with twins. Haha. So sweet to just imagine it. Hee...

After all the "horrifying" news, the doc finally said smthg i hv been waiting for. "You can eat anything you want from now on." O ye, Laksa I am coming!!! "And after taking Thyroxine, you will go back to your normal health abilities after 1 month when the Thyroxine stablises in your body. And no exercise for 1 month." Woohoo!

It's a wonderful day!!!
