Once upon a Time

Scenario: Chelsey goes to a doctor in CC "Doctor, I think something is wrong, My throat hurts really bad." Doctor runs test, no results, says, "you're fine, go exercise" a week later, pain gets worse, chelsey goes back in "Doctor, something is REALLY wrong with my throat, It hurts really bad, and I haven't eaten, yet I've gained weight and got really sleepy." Doctor runs test, no results says "It's probably just your anemia, go take some vitamins and exercise. a week later, pain is WORSE. Chelsey goes back in. "Ok Doctor, the pain is still here, worse, more weight is gained, I'm SO sleepy, and I've been exercising and taking my vitamins and eating well, I can't take it anymore." Doctor "ok here are some antibiotics, I'm sending you to the specialist in Medford. Chelsey and her parents go to Medford, Specialist "Chelsey, your tonsils are triple the size they should be, we're going to do some surgery." Doctor removes Tonsils, pain is still there, Doctor goes back and removes adenoids, pain is still there, Doctor Scrapes throat down to esophagus, Pain is still there but barely. Chelsey thinks problem is solved. Chelsey moves to Utah. Gains even more weight, has the pain come back, then loses voice completely. Calls a Doctor in a different field. "Doctor here is the situation - " explains story to Doctor. Doctor calls her in. Does ten minute exam..... " you have Hypothyroidism" THANK YOU!


That is my story for the day. It's sad but true! it explains so much! and this Following Monday I am going to the doctor again to see what kind of Treatment plan I get. I Hope your Holiday Stories are much better! I'm so excited for Christmas and the fact that I get to spend it with my family. And as Exciting as I am to be able to spend Christmas with a wonderful Husband next year, it is somewhat sad to realize, this is the last year I will be able to spend Christmas unwed with my Parents. nothing but rotating from here on out. =) May we all be sure to remember the true meaning of Christmas this year and know that we are loved dearly. Happy Holidays!
