July 6, 2007

I was admitted to the hospital to receive radioactive iodine. The radioactive iodine was given to absorb any residual tissue that may have been in my body following surgery.

I spent three days in isolation which meant that the most time that any one person could spend in my room was 20 minutes. I thought I was going to be really lonely because I enjoy being around people. But this time was really nice because it gave me time to think and process what had gone on during the last three months.

The nurses call time in isolation a "vacation." I would agree with that after being there. The staff took great care of me!
