Good news and ?? news

Nov 07, 2011

 I finished a half-marathon yesterday!  It was my second half-marathon, but my first one since having RNY. I finished in 3:53 in 2005 (weighing about 195 -- I lost 20 pounds training), and I finished in 3:11 yesterday (having lost  about 90 pounds since surgery -- sure makes running easier on the back!).  My legs were killing me by the end, though, so I have quite a bit of training to do before my full marathon in January.

But I also found out last week that I have multiple nodules in my thyroid. I felt one and saw the doctor, and the ultrasound turned up quite a few more. They aren't messing with my thyroid levels, but I really want to know what those little suckers are doing in there. The medical term is multinodular goiter, but I'm just going to call it Mongo. I'm supposed to see an ENT this week, so I hope I'll know more after that.
