Tired...

I'm wiped out.  I can't help but wonder if somehow the iodine in food helps in the metabolism of those of us without thyroids.  I know the literature says we don't need iodine, but I'm just tired.  I can't blame lack of Synthroid since this Thyrogen protocol allows me to stay on my meds.
One high point of my day was discovering a sick deer outside the downstairs windows at work and looking deeply into her eyes, knowing she needs help.  I called the Blackhawk Wildlife Rehab folks and Terese is looking into how we might be able to help her.  The guys at work think she was hit by a car...her face is all swollen and her nose looks really messed up.  She leans up against the windows downstairs - likely for warmth.  Rumor has it some folks are tossing her apples and such, therefore she keeps hanging around.  She needs a Vet and some TLC.
I do love animals.  :-)
Today I also called U of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics to verify that I am on the schedule properly next week.  I also called the pharmacy to make sure they got the Thyrogen in.  It's there.  Now I need to write a check for $1300+ to pay for the injections.  Insurance will kick in after I spend my deductable (and it won't be long now).
Well, since I am tired, I'm gonna go crash...
