Update

Results of the ultrasound: The World's Best Doctor says that the thyroid nodules are there - that it's common - that it's a benign condition - that my thyroid function test was normal - and we'll do it again in 1 year to see if anything has changed. I did some research on the internet and it seems that anyone who lives to be 69 has thyroid nodules, so that's that. I'm still wondering why I have such a sore neck and swollen glands for the past 4.5 months. But I can't complain - I feel the Doc has done everything - MRI plus ultrasound - Cheesh!

The World's Best Dentist even got into the act by X-Raying my lower jaw to see if my lurking wisdom tooth was acting up - but everything looks normal there too. I think I must be becoming like Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, with all of her imaginary flutterings.

Missed lunch today with Mary, Shirley, and Shirley. Next time for sure!
