Progress and new concern

[Ms.Moon 15]

A very heartfelt thank you to everyone that has responded every time I fly off the handle.  Had my first therapy appointment yesterday and my therapist is nice and he is going to try to see me once a week.  He complimented me on my coping skills (I have started walking to clear my head and it really helps).  I went to my doctor today and I didn’t see her instead I got an internist but she was kind enough to listen to me about my concerns and turns out I do have a hemorrhoid and I got a cream to help heal up the blisters from the wipes.  I have an appointment tomorrow to check on my thyroid because I have goiter like my mom and my gallbladder because they saw a stone or two when I had the stone hunt last year and they are following up on it.  I am a little concerned about my gallbladder since one of my aunts and a  cousin had to have theirs removed but that’s a bridge I am going to cross when I get to it.

It seems like all is being addressed and time will tell the outcome 🙂

It’s late so I’m stressing a little about the ultrasound but thus far I have been okay with the thyroid.  I am also a little concerned about the ultrasound for the gallbladder but it’s more about the fact that I can’t eat or drink water until I get the scan.

Just got home from the ultrasound and my gallbladder is good but I have the beginning of fatty liver so I need to work on my weight loss.  I don’t have the results from the thyroid yet but it is currently under review.  I am so hungry right now because I could not eat before the ultrasound so food is definitely my next step.

My wife was also diagnosed with a fatty liver. She is on a special diet called Optavia and has lost 30 pounds so far, with a bit to go.
