Tomorrow I'm going to get an ultrasound to see if there is something wrong with my thyroid.

Truth is, I am somewhat afraid.

And so it goes.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Best wishes for a good result!!

Thank you โค๏ธ

Thyroids are temperamental bastards! Mine crashed in pregnancy 13 years ago and hasn't worked properly since. I've been stable on thyroxine for the most part, but when I was too low I developed a nodule, which i was convinced was cancer. It wasn't, and a dose increase reduced the nodule again. The ultrasound can be a bit uncomfortable with rhe pressure but I'm sure yours will be good.

Thank you for sharing, that makes this whole thing less frightening โค๏ธ

Its all good mate. Thyroid dysfunction is very very common nowdays.

Thyroid is pretty good as far as health issue go. It's superficial so no deep surgery if it goes that way. If it's just a bit funky you can take Thyroxine? (T3/T4 hormone IIRC) which is cheap on the PBS. Finally better to know than not so you can deal with it appropriately.

You're right, it is better to know. Thanks man โค๏ธ

What would be the title of your memoir? Mine would be "Well, That Didn't Go According To Plan (But It Still Worked Out)"

"How a participation award and a gold star sticker in grade two changed my life".

I think I would use what my daughter says about me.

"Oh she's weird, but not in a bad way"

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Weird and wonderful!

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think mine would be 'Plan? What plan?". The follow up self-help book would be "The Untapped Power of Impulse Motivated Action".

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

That is an excellent power to wield!

I don't know. Depends who wrote it and what goes in.

it won't be called "My Struggle"

maybe "Saddam and my part in his downfall " ( to riff of spike milligan )

or My Life in Movies ...lol

"Well I wasn't born as a burrito, but I did get drowned in salsa"

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mm, salsa! This has brought up the mental image of just a bathtub full of nachos.

Girlfriend's wrist operation today. She developed a cyst in her left wrist that's been painful for her over a year ago now. We've finally gotten to the stage where they'll do actual surgery and remove it. Let's hope this will be the end of it and she'll be better once she heals

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Good luck!!

Inspired by Force, what's your perfect burrito? I'm a fan of spicy chicken, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado. If I'm having a big feels day, some con queso to dip it into. There is to be absolutely no beans near my burrito, please and thank you.

[โ€“] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Carne asada, guac, and pico de gallo. Thatโ€™s it.

I haven't had many burritos in my life but if I had to choose it would be a breakfast burrito.

I don't really know enough about burritos to comment, a vegetarian one. I recently made TVP chilli which was awesome.
