She's got her range of motion back for the surgery. She had it in late November. A string of calamities including specialist availability to determine right radioactive treatment dosage had put off the iodine treatment till this week. Specialist said her numbers were OK for therapy. She started the replacement hormone pill yesterday evening.
I'm kinda trying to figure out what is a must and what isn't. For example doctors never mentioned low Iodine diet before this treatment. I called the doctors office to find out if she needed to restrict fluids the night before and office workers said just maintain the low iodine diet before treatment. I said what diet? Then I read where low iodine diet had proves not to be a factor in the absorption process.
The pain I was refering to was from the surgery, lifting my head while laying on my back was the most painfull. If I rolled over to my side and then raised up it took the strain of the muscles in the front of the neck.
