well today we go to the specialist appt for albert and hopefully they will have the biopsy results from his thyroid and some answers from all the other blood tests they been doing, he goes tomorow for the schillings test, then he has to go see a gastro enterologist for a consult in march.. will keep you all posted on that.  his blood pressure seems to be down again so that means the med is helping so that is good.  im just worried, they said they prob will have to remove his thyroid while i know thats not a big deal really he has a hard time healing from surgeries and im just scared it will be like that again.   my tummy is so upset with all this waiting and i havent been able to eat properly (although i am eating) and my face is all broke out from the stress so im not liking that too much either, but what can i do right im trying to stay not stressed but it is very hard.  this cold weather doenst help either i hate it so much its so cold even in our apartment, my feet are freezing even though i have fleece socks on and stuff... im going to try and go to my art group today i need the distractions that it gives me, but of course if the news at the doctors is bad then i wont go but if everything is ok, then my mom in law will drop me off at hopes so i can go.  i will email you soon as i get home to let yo know how the appt went, hopefully it will be good news.  thanks for letting me get all this off my chest.  im still all freaked out about having to lose weight after all the probs i had gaining it so im still confused about that, but im just taking that day by day.  thanks again, love suzy
