Two scares recently:

1) I misplaced my passport. I will be flying to Canada in a month to meet with my son - I badly needed to find the passport.

Could not find it. No memory of where I last put it.

Ultimately found it, and, relieved, rented a safe deposit box at my bank and put it there. $35 a year for renting a safe deposit box - I should have long done it because I regularly have "episodes" of "lost but not found" with all sorts of important things. I cannot put my cell phone into a safe deposit box at the bank - it would defeat the purpose - but at least I can trust the bank with my passport.

2) Had a pregnancy scare. Logically, I realized that I could not have become pregnant (Mirena IUD+condoms used faithfully), but I was SO nauseated - it was horrible!!! Two doctors said that I really could NOT have conceived with that much protection, but advised to do home tests just to breathe a sigh of relief. Yup - did two urine sticks - not pregnant. It is not clear why I was so nauseated - I am going through some of the symptoms of underactive thyroid (I have been taking Synthroid 25 mg for a week) and nausea is one such symptom, but the endocrinologist wrote that the degree of my nausea was not explainable by diminished thyroid function alone, and recommended I see the GP. I feel better and want to wait it out and not spend more money of medical visits.
