Because if I don't, Minx is going to keep tapping her foot...
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I had to sort of absorb and process it all first, and I was also caught up in helping Mr. Manzie get his Valentines ready for today, especially for his three favorite girls.
*pauses to roll eyes*
That's right. My son doesn't have a girlfriend. He has a harem. Or maybe, it should be the harem has him, since I understand this involves a great deal of chasing Mr. Manzie around the playground with lots of giggling until he lets them catch him. He won't specify what happens when he gets caught, though!
Well, down to the gist of it, I guess!
First off, the Lump. Yes, I shall call it Lump, and it shall be mine, and it shall be my Lump... er... um... sorry, I was sort of channeling "Finding Nemo" there for a second. ANYWAY, right, the Lump. Well, it's benign, and may be waxing and waning along with my monthly cycle, since it gets uncomfortable for a few days, and then seems to ease off. Since my thyroid is basically dead, there is really nothing they can do medically for it... except remove it, and that requires surgery. And he doesn't want to do surgery on me unless its medically necessary, or it becomes painful, starts really growing, and doesn't stop, etc. And I'm okay with that. Besides, he wants to see me in three months to see if there are any changes and see if it needs to be scanned again, etc.
So, I feel better about that.
The blood tests. Well, aside from the thyroid, and another little problem which shall remain unmentioned, I am disgustingly healthy. Which was all kinds of happy making on my part. My cholesterol levels are insanely good, no signs of pre-diabetes (which was a concern), and though my thyroid levels are still a little off, it's a work in progress, so... it's all good!
There were some other concerns which could have been dealt with hormonally (which after some discussion about family history was nixed), with another change in diet, and more exercise, or with medication. Since he knows I hate taking medications, we're giving option number two a chance, and that will be evaluated in three months as well. Since spring soccer will be starting March 7, and practices are already underway, plus Miss Priss wants to really start training both for track and soccer, the exercise portion will not be a problem. And we're already doing another overhaul on our menus, so that will be changed, too.
I fell off going to the track just before Thanksgiving, thanks to the odd little virus I had then, and then our Christmas-From-Hell. I started back on Monday (oh, my aching muscles!), so we shall just see how it goes, ne?
And thanfiction, I am still working on my piece for you. My model keeps getting up and walking away, but I plan to tie him to a chair tonight so I can finish the damn thing up. I will hopefully post it sometime this weekend. Hopefully.
