Am I what? Pregnant....

LOL I had to write that! And yes before they would give me the radiation that had to run a blood test to prove I was not pregnant. I had to laugh. Had the result not be negative I would have really been in shock! :-)

So I had to wait an additional hour as they double checked for me and then around noon I got my 2 capsules of the glowing stuff. It was not a big deal. The Dr and tech explained the rules of contact - staying away 3-6 ft for 5 days and then as time goes on worry less. They explained the 8 day half life (so 80 days total) and the funniest part that I will neeed to carry a card at all times for those 80 days as I will set off alarms: at the airport, some firetrucks and stations, courthouses and border patrol! Yippeee! No jury duty for me for a while - oh yeah I have a year before the year summons! rats I would have had fun with that excuse!

But seriously I know they say I can "go back to work" after 2 days but I wish to stay away from pregnant women and small children for much longer. They say just 3 ft is safe after a week but please if you are my friend and may be pregnant (or are trying), please sit a bit away from me! :-) and keep your adorable little ones away too. Sam thinks I am "over the top" but I love you too much to risk anything.

Now the good news ... after taking the pills I drove home and fell asleep (probably from the excitement AND the early morning benadryl I took). After 1 hour, I drank water and now after 2 hours, I was able to eat again. I have a bit of tingling in my glands - where my thyroid was, but other than that nothing. PRAISE the LORD! NO symptoms - which sometimes makes it harder to remember to stay away. So I am in my room with the door locked.

Josh was feeling better today so I hope he can go back to school tomorrow. He got his appetite back as well finally.

Sam is getting Bre and then the geiger counter! It will be fun to see where I am hot.

So the countdown has begun - looking forward to Thursday when I can drop this diet, begin the synthroid and feel a bit more human again and then Saturday when I can come out from my shell and hang with people again!

Thank you all so much for your prayers! Again they were answered and so far no side effects. Phew! I will sleep really well tonight!
