Update:

I met with an endocrinologist on September 6th and had an informative appointment and he broke it all down and even drew a picture to explain it all  :)
My blood was drawn again to see what my levels were and to check if things were abnormal. (Still haven't received those results) I left feeling more aware of the situation but still not near enough answers. That's were the "scan" comes in to place. I went to West Campus this morning to swallow a pill. A radioactive pill that releases iodine. I go back at 2 for them to scan my thyroid and take pictures. And guess what?? Still no answers until tomorrow. I go back tomorrow at 2 to get results, meaning, they'll tell me a bunch of information that will leave me saying "huh?" Then meet again with the endocrinologist ....get this... not until September 27th. WTH. I have no patience as is, why do they expect me to wait more than 2 weeks to figure out what we need to do?  Agh.
I'll be glad when this is all over and we have some answers so we know what my options are.

Stay tuned!
