Luckily this can all be done at the clinic.

So everything went well. My leg is ok. I have no idea why its hurting. They did find a nodule on my thyroid. I guess I kinda knew about it but wasn't paying it much attention. I asked my mom a couple weeks ago if she felt something there and we thought it was transiton related. I know It feels funny when I swallow. It feels all lumpy like. but I thought I was just growing an adams apple even though trans men can't grow adams apples. At least I don't think. I just really want one so it may have been a bit of wishful thinking which is why I didn't look into it anymore. I'm not sure if the nodule is whats causing the shortness of breath or not. The doctor wants to do an ultrasound on it.

But I am tired from all this back and forth all day and the CT scan involved an IV and those always hurt. I've been chugging water all day so it wasn't as bad as they normally are though.

So your lungs were ok though? How’d they find the thyroid if they were checking lungs?
