It's a crime and a shame...


Well, I decided to start my own blog.

Why? Well, I really don't know why. I'm horrible with updating things and with school being so busy I don't even have time to study much of the time.

I was extremely happy when I found out that our last story we were reading in British Lit. was 'Macbeth.' After reading it three times and working tech on the performance, I have the play basically memorized.
Meaning, I read nothing for this quarter -- except for Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales.

Update on Graves Disease:

After going to the Emergency Room for what I -- and the Boeing Nurse-- thought was a blood clot/heart attack I was given an EKG and a blood test. They ran my thyroid levels at the same time and I came out normal (yay!)
No blood clot, no heart attack...just an anxiety attack.
I've had plenty before but I never had those symptoms so it came as a shock.

In one month I have another meeting with my thyroid doctor. We are going to do labs (this is the longest I have ever gone without a blood draw) and talk about when I'm going to do the Radioactive Iodine. It will defiantly be after Italy since he doesn't want me to set off radiation detectors at the airport (I'm in the same boat as well.)

So, currently it looks like I'm just going to have to deal with being hyperthyroid.
