Yesterday, I got a phone call from my endo's office and heard words that at times it felt like I would never hear:
"Your TSH is too low, so we need to decreases your dose."
YESSSS!!!!!!! Almost a year later, we're finally getting close (it's only a little bit too low now at 0.14). We're backing my dose down to 225 mcg instead of 250. I suspect that it's still going to take a few more tweaks to get it exactly right, but we're almost there!

Two Anniversaries
An open letter to my husband:
Two years ago today, we stood in front of our friends and family and made a promise to be there for each other no matter what.
And I have never been so sure of anything before
Like I am in this moment here with you
One year ago next week, I was diagnosed with cancer.
Now for better or for worse are so much more than only words
This is not how we thought our story would play out.
Despite this, I wouldn't trade the past two years for anything. For sure, there have been lots of lows, and I certainly wish some things had gone differently. But there have also been so many highs, and I've made it through it all with you by my side - and I can't think of a better way to go through life.
And what tomorrow brings only time will tell
But I will stand by you in sickness and in health
As these anniversaries have been approaching, I've been doing a lot of reflecting on our relationship. I am so incredibly grateful for the love that you have shown me, and I am so humbled by the realization that this is what it's all about. Loving and supporting one another through the highs and the lows. Becoming a better person because of the other. Giving so wholly of yourself for the sake of someone else. Throughout it all, this is what matters.
You see these hands you hold will always hold you up
When the strength you have just ain't strong enough
I know that the years to come will have lows as well as highs. But I also know that I'll face everything with you there with me.
And as the years march on like a beating heart
I will live these words 'til death do us part
I love you.
