Another 4 weeks has passed, another blood draw. No surprise my TSH is still low. 0.021 this time, but my endo must not have been too concerned/surprised because I never heard from him after he got the results. Once again in less than two weeks, it's time for another blood draw. 
So the 4th of July just passed and it was my first holiday off! Happy dance. I went to a family picnic and there just so happened to be some random guy there who I guess was friends with one of my uncles. I had no idea who he was, but to make a long story short he came up to me and said "dang girl did your boyfriend get mad at you or something?" Referring to the scar on my neck. I was flabbergasted. This was one of the most uneducated statements I have ever heard. I looked at him and said "no actually I had surgery because I had cancer in Feburary and they had to remove my thyroid." He then apologized and asked if I was okay. 
This was probably the first time anyone other than my children have asked about my scar and it was certainly the rudest and it has certainly stuck with me.....
