Sorry to hear you've been sleeping in the recliner, though. (I've been known to do that, but generally not on purpose . . .)

Let us know what the results of the GTT/thyroid testing are. (Given the meds you've been on, don't be too surprised if they are a bit weird--hopefully your doctors will take this into account in their interpretations.)
