Tomorrow I’m going to get an ultrasound to see if there is something wrong with my thyroid.
Truth is, I am somewhat afraid.
And so it goes.

Thyroids are temperamental bastards! Mine crashed in pregnancy 13 years ago and hasn’t worked properly since. I’ve been stable on thyroxine for the most part, but when I was too low I developed a nodule, which i was convinced was cancer. It wasn’t, and a dose increase reduced the nodule again. The ultrasound can be a bit uncomfortable with rhe pressure but I’m sure yours will be good.

Thank you for sharing, that makes this whole thing less frightening ❤️

Thyroid is pretty good as fat as health issue go. It’s superficial so no deep surgery if it goes that way. If it’s just a bit funky you can take Thyroxine? (T3/T4 hormone IIRC) which is cheap on the PBS. Finally better to know than not so you can deal with it appropriately.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 days ago
You’re right, it is better to know. Thanks man ❤️
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Let’s hope it’s nothing major
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
you’ll be ok , thyroid problems are not that difficult to diagnose and treat

Inspired by Force, what’s your perfect burrito? I’m a fan of spicy chicken, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado. If I’m having a big feels day, some con queso to dip it into. There is to be absolutely no beans near my burrito, please and thank you.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I haven’t had many burritos in my life but if I had to choose it would be a breakfast burrito.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Carne asada, guac, and pico de gallo. That’s it.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Simple and delicious!!
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I don’t really know enough about burritos to comment, a vegetarian one. I recently made TVP chilli which was awesome.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 days ago
You can get those Edgel tins of blackbeans with lime or salsa. One of those with a tub of 40 second rice gets you most of the way there. I’d also make a mix subbing refried beans for beef mince and I actually prefer it. Jackfruit is great too mixed with all the flavours for a burrito mix

some chicken, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, tasty cheese
served with a side of spicy rice and lots of sour cream and salsa
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Spicy rice on the side is a great choice!

What would be the title of your memoir? Mine would be “Well, That Didn’t Go According To Plan (But It Still Worked Out)”
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 days ago
“I won”
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I cannot LOVE this more!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I think mine would be 'Plan? What plan?". The follow up self-help book would be “The Untapped Power of Impulse Motivated Action”.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 days ago
That is an excellent power to wield!

I think I would use what my daughter says about me.
“Oh she’s weird, but not in a bad way”
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Weird and wonderful!
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
“The Kid”
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 6 days ago
“Close Enough For Jazz”
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I don’t know. Depends who wrote it and what goes in.
it won’t be called “My Struggle”
maybe "Saddam and my part in his downfall " ( to riff of spike milligan )
or My Life in Movies …lol
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Has anyone heard from Melbabouttown?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I was literally just thinking that. Hope she’s OK.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 6 days ago
I hope she’s ok
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Nah. I sent them a few directs the last month and got nothing back. Last reply I got they were taking a break to work with their grief about their cats passing. We may never know, I hope they’re well.
Shit I hope Hongonoes? and Baku are doing okay too while we’re mentioning it.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. We’re back home now and the cyst is finally out. My girlfriend has a half cast on for a week and we hope that will be the end of it

Girlfriend’s wrist operation today. She developed a cyst in her left wrist that’s been painful for her over a year ago now. We’ve finally gotten to the stage where they’ll do actual surgery and remove it. Let’s hope this will be the end of it and she’ll be better once she heals
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Ganglion Cyst? aka bible blister?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 days ago
Yep, it’s out now bit that’s what it was
