Healthy Again!

Woo Hoo, im healthy again, i took myself off the propranolol for palpitations and hypertension, that has been about 1 week. i felt comfortable enough not to take that. and my test results for the blood count came back yesterday, NORMAL! the thyroid function test came back today and it was also in the normal range, although not desired yet. normal range 0.5-5.5. my levels since january was 6.6/ 7/ and now.. 2.8! Another doctor called me this round, Dr Fong. Dr. H. Liew was off duty today. Well, Dr. Fong also urged me to see the specialist asap. Im gonna hold it off for as long as possible! specialists are expensive, slow, and not open on weekends! Problematic. Received a call from a nurse yesterday and today, He kept asking when i want to book the appointment, i finally convinced him to give me the hotline number. Well, i just think Doc H. Liew is a good doctor, and approachable enough to ask for occasional clearance letters to do extreme sports. Heh Heh. Although he is always on the safe side, not wanting to risk anything. The GP clinic is nice, and i don't make appointments, just call to make sure doctor is on duty and go down anytime conveniently. It's great, i like it this way. the nurses are friendly and skilled. blood tests have never been so painless.

Settled! im happy ( not the hyper kind of happy) that my levels are finally normal. i can also see that my goiter is visually smaller.. i have this sickening sore throat now, but the tests says its unrelated. Well, just really thankful to God for helping me stay faithful on the course of medicine, and that my body is responding. I don't wish to go for the surgery or treatments etc. happy to just take orange flavored lozenges now. haha.

Today at work, i accomplished all the tasks i set out to do. So that's good too. i feel like i can handle stress better these weeks. i have not been put under so much pressure my entire life! not even during exams. it's a trying period for me. Loads of foreign ( in chinese!) correspondence and coordination with engineers, architects, clients, suppliers from 2 active projects. and being bugged by so many people in the office over the other 2 important projects. sigh.. so sians... but God will help me, so i try not to worry too much.

i pray he grooms and matures my 2 assistants soon. so i can avoid micromanaging and trying to get everything done on my own. They are slowly learning and are truly capable. im thankful for them, as team members and as friends, lunch buddies, activity partners etc. glad. yea, 10 more minutes and i will get out of the office for home. can't wait to sleep on my lovely bed, in the lovely room.
