I usually post about the troubles with my son who has Asperger's. This story is about me.

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease a couple of years ago. I took methimazole for 18 months. I thought I was cured until last month they did a blood test and noticed my thyroxine count was way low.

So I scheduled a thyroid scan a few weeks ago and today was the lucky day!

They gave me 2 radioactive iodine pills this morning. Since then everything has smelled like hot dogs?! It's kind of poetic that a vegetarian can't get away from the smell of disgusting meat.

I was just telling my daughter that she and her brother need to stay out of my bathroom for the next couple of days. The radioactive iodine exits your body via urine. So my toilet is toxic! Toxic toilet warning!

I just read (on Wikipedia) that I may set off radiation detectors at the airport when I drop off the kids on Saturday. I hope Wikipedia is wrong.
