As elated as I am about the light at the end of the immigration tunnel, I'm still facing down the Ontario health system.

::sighs::

My endo is referring me to the nuclear medicine doctor in London, who's going to perform the radioactive iodine. When I saw my endo on 12Jan, he told me that Dr. Nuc would call me within a week. It hasn't happened yet.

I haven't been pushing it because I was hoping to have the consulate appointment scheduled first, since it's inherently less flexible than the doctors (US Department of State vs nice doctors who understand my situation -- you do the math).

Having gotten my interview (yay!), I phoned my endo's office a few minutes ago. They haven't gotten a date yet, so it'll be "a few more days" until Dr. Nuc calls. I asked how long I should wait until I call the endo's office back, and she suggested a week.

At this point, it will *not* be before the end of February that I have the proceedure. I have to be off the levothyroxine at *least* four weeks, and sometimes six.

Someday, I will be able to plan.
