After reading almost every blog on RAI, I decided to go through with it.  So, I swallowed the black, skinny capsule and signed all of the papers.  Fortunately, I haven’t started glowing yet.

The dogs and the cat are huddled outside my bedroom door whining.  They don’t understand why they can’t come in the bedroom to snuggle.  But this is for three days, and then I can have them in the same room, but no snuggling for four days after that. 

It’s a good thing I’m home for this week.  Did you know that if I were to travel at the airport and go into some tunnels or bridges that the radioactive scanners would alert the authorities that I am radioactive?  I have to take this little ID card with me for the next 3 months when I travel.  It states that I’ve been treated with radioactive iodine (just in case I set off any alarms).

Also, I had to stock up on Super Sourheads….so that when I start sucking on them tomorrow it will stimulate my salivary glands to work overtime and then I can flush the RAI out of my system.  I don’t struggle with being alone for 3 days since I spend so much time alone on the road.  But I must say that typing on a keyboard covered with plastic wrap is NOT easy to use.  But I do think it’s easier that trying to type with surgical gloves on.

I just hope this treatment works and I don’t have to do it again.

Tune in tomorrow for “how the glow worm turns”.
