They were literally turning off the lights as I finished up the visit. I'd love to have their hours!

I suppose I could have sought out the main hospital and got the labs done there, but I was dog tired and just plain annoyed at that point!

Anyhow, I'm seriously debating rescheduling my colonoscopy tomorrow. Not only is it supposed to be cold and rainy the next few days, but it's supposed to cold and rainy and below freezing. I'll have to make a decision soon.
I'll give the endocrinologist credit. He made right the fiasco of Friday afternoon!

I was called back to his clinic today where they did the thyroid biopsies and a couple of thyroid related blood tests. Went by pretty well, even with feeling like I've been punched in the throat! Have a few days on the blood tests and about a week for the biopsy results to get back.

Rescheduled my colonoscopy for January. Given the early morning cold weather and all of my thyroid related troubles, it made sense.

Well, today's troubles are done. Hopefully tomorrow's are nothing to write home about!
