So it's been a full 24 plus hours since I took my iodine (I-131) pills. Today I get to start my Synthroid. Yea!
My new best friend or you could say my new thyroid in a sense. Synthroid 150mcg. Every day for the rest of my life this will be the first thing that enters my body.
Oh and don't think that "little blue pill" jokes weren't buzzing about. Cause they were.
So another great thing to this radioactiveness is I have to carry a card with me until sometime in July stating that I've had this radioactive treatment because basically until the date the card expires I'm still considered active. I will set off sensors in airports and other "secured" areas (like government building...good thing I'm a State employee :) ) I have even read of multiple cases where people have set of fire sensors in restrooms. They advised not to panic and just flush a few times (which you are suppose to do any way) and the sensor should stop. THAT could be interesting! {note to self: locate fire sensor and select stall farthest from it!}
