WRONG

My doctors office called me earlier to say, "Sue your test are good, You go in tomorrow for the radiation Treatment."
I was so happy to have that turn out right, I know I have avoided Iodine like the plague.

Then the phone rang.
"Sue the lab ran the wrong test yesterday, I need you in today for another test. Go to our lab downstairs."
How can a test be so wrong? Well let me tell you, I should  have known when I asked about one of the test reasons,.
First Clue he was Clueless.
He said he had to look it up.
  Triglycerides!!
I asked why that, he then said, It shows all the levels of vitamins and minerals in your body.
That was reasonable to me, after all my body does not produce like it would, were I normal.
TG is NOT triglycerides.
It is Thyro Globulin. A test for minute cells of cancer in your body.
Oh my!!!! And they got it wrong last year too and the year before.
Dr A. was so angry at them and he even went as far as to call the lab and tell them. I in turn received an apology.
But guess what? It was too late to rerun the test because I had radioactive Iodine in my body and nothing would be accurate.
So this is the first year I have the test ran properly.
Yes I just returned from town, Having had another blood draw.
Nothing like 4 or more trips to town in a week to mess up my gasoline trend. I try to use very little and besides that, I don't like going to town.
So my gripe is over for NOW.


I need to get up and make bread. Bread to go with the fantastic soup I made last night.
Yep left overs again. But I am not a soup maker but that hit the spot.
 I usually do not like  soups I make, they seem wrong or bland or something.
However yesterday I boiled two chicken breasts, boneless skinless breasts. Sounds like not a lot of flavor.
I then shredded the breasts,  added potatoes, onions, celery and Ms. Dash. I actually ate two bowls and David ate three.
I guess we were hungry for Something different.
I have left overs and tonight they will be accompanied by Home Made Rolls. (Which are turning out to be pretty good tasting) Even though they have no dairy.
Made with Hot water. It reminded me of the bread I made as a teen. I would get home from school, ask Mama if I could make rolls, She Always said, "YES"
I then used a quart of hot water, yeast, flour, salt and sugar. That's it.
I just remember the quart of Hot Water. I am sure,we used that much water to make the bread go further as we had a house full to feed, (today I use 1 3/4   cup)
and they were great, I can almost smell them now.
I can still hear Harold coming in the door asking, "Do I smell Yeast Rolls?"
He could smell them when he drove  into the yard.
Wow!!! Sweet Memories.

And Yes I can still have the iodine therapy. YEA!!!!
