Well, One Mystery Solved!

Jeff, the ex, has not been feeling 'right' for months now - tired, feeling more depressed (than usual) heart palpitations and just plain worn out. About 2 weeks ago he finally called his doctor about it. His doctor advised that he just go to the hospital because the test that needed to be done could not be done in the office.

So, Jeff spent the night in the ER, hooked up to all sorts of machines. When he called me to tell me what was going on, he was already in the hospital. I had no idea he was feeling that bad ad was surprised to hear where he was. I was just leaving the mall, I had been looking for baby gift baskets for the upcoming baby shower I have to attend, which by the way, I had better luck online that the stores. I was on my way to his place with Olivia, since he was supposed to have her that night, great timing, huh?

Besides is heart rate being low and his cholesterol a bit high, everything was fine. His EKG was normal, he passed a stress test, he even had an ultrasound of his heart done and that was fine. Blood tests were all normal as well. However, he mentioned to his doctor that his mom and sister have both been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease and although that affects the thyroid (which showed normal on the blood tests) unless a test is done to specifically look for the antibodies for this disease, it goes unnoticed!

It's a good thing he mentioned it and they tested for it because that is what he has. I divorced this man but because we share a daughter, I still find myself worrying abut his well being.
