So…I went to the doctor yesterday for a regular check-up. Not my idea of Saturday-morning cartoon fun but a typically normal thing for any healthy person on the planet to do. So after waiting and waiting I finally get to talk to my doctor. Dr. T (not to be confused with Mr. T. who has a much different hair cut and a lot more bling) asked me about my recent symptoms and one came up he didn’t like. He mentioned the “T” word and asked that I have blood work done that morning. Now, I know that’s not really a big deal, it was only a possibility that a tumor could be causing the issue I was having but still that word alone would freak anyone out. So I had my blood work done and went on my way expecting to hear the results in 4 days.
I get a call this afternoon from my doctors office and they say that my hormone levels are too high, not really explaining much but just that I needed to come in next week and get more blood work done while fasting. So I am a little concerned to be honest. I do have a “growth” or “tumor” in my head that I not-so-lovingly call “Bob” that I have known about for years now. It’s inoperable and hasn’t grown. As long as it doesn’t grow I will be fine. So I guess you could say I’m a little bit more than concerned.
But I am probably just overreacting and things will be just fine. The hormone levels could be caused by the medication I take (sleeping pills) so that might be a solution to this issue. I hope that is all that it is. Until next week I will just have to try not to think about it.
