Starting RAI ...feeling a bit nervous

Tomorrow I swallow the pill. I am getting a bit nervous. The last two days I have had the Thyrogen shot and got a little sick and very lethargic. I believe I am ready for the three days total isolation. The saddest part right now is the thought that I won't even be able to get a hug from my husband and kids during this time. I get several hugs a day and will miss this. The good thing it s very temporary. I pray this will be the only RAI that I will have to have in my life.
