Worried Sick

[JerbysMom]

 Okay, so some of you may know that I've been going to the doctor a lot and having tests done because it seems my thyroid is over-active. I went Tuesday for a thyroid scan (you lie still for about 30-40 minutes while they scan) and found out Wednesday that the scan looked normal, but due to my symptoms and bloodwork my doc wants me to see an endocrinologist. They put in the referral that day. Today is Friday and I was wondering when they were going to get back with me about it so I called the doc's office to see. Well, I found out it'll be about 2 WEEKS before the specialist will get back to me. Crap! I've literally been worrying myself sick over this. I haven't been able to eat since the scan and last night I was so upset I threw up. I'm a pretty anxious person on a normal day so this stuff has me going off the deep end. And I have to wait at least 2 more weeks to even get another appointment! There really isn't much to worry about though since anything that could be wrong with me is easily treated. But I have the added anxiety over starting homeschool Monday. My son will be in Kindergarten and I've never done this before so I'm pretty anxious. I have everything ready, it's just the newness of the experience and me hoping I don't totally screw up my kid. I swear it's almost enough to drive me to drink, except it would only make me barf again, LOL.
