I had a visit this morning with Dr. G. Picture this conversation with Kiersten whining in the background.
Dr. G: Hi Kids! Well, how are you doing today (to me)?
Me: Good.
Dr. G: How have you been feeling? Let's see, since our last visit last month, you've gained 5lbs.
Me: Well, I've told you I've been gaining about a 1lb a week. Besides feeling fat, I am achy and I am getting muscle cramps all over the place, neck, shoulders, stomach, thighs and they really hurt. I can't even scratch my back without pulling a muscle in my shoulder.
Dr. G: That's a good sign, that means you are probably ready for the thyroid supplement. Muscle cramps are something we look for. Let me look at your thyroid....(feeling my neck)....it's almost completely gone. I am going to give some samples to start today, but I'm not giving you a prescription until I get your blood work back.
Me: You have no idea how happy I am.
Dr. G: What is your maiden name by the way?
Me: Bouttavong
Dr. G: Where are you from?
Me: Laos
Dr. G: You're Laotian, but you were born here, you have no accent.
Me: I was born in Thailand, but came here as a baby, but I still speak Laos.
Dr. G: Alright Lammone, let's get you downstairs to the vampires. Bye kids!
