Thyroid test results

OK, I'm confused. I just received my test results back from the lab and they might as well be in some top secret government code because I can't make heads or tails of it. Hopefully I can get some answers here. I don't see my doctor for another week and a half and I don't wanna have to wait until then to understand my results. My results are as followed:
Free T4 - 0.9 ng/dL
TSH - 2.47 mcIU.mL
Thyroglobulin - <20 IU/ mL
Thyroperoxidase - <10

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Please note the reference range for the FT4.  This varies from lab to lab, so must come from your own report.

You have "thyroglobulin" and "thyroid peroxidase" - were these tests for those parameters or were they actually antibody tests?  Such as "thyroglobulin antibodies" or "thyroid peroxidase antibodies"?  

Have you already been diagnosed with a thyroid issue?  Are you currently on any thyroid med(s)?  If so, what med and what dose?

*IF* the range for the FT4 is like most ranges, your levels will be "low normal".  In addition, even though your TSH is "normal", it's on the high side (range being 0.3-3.0).  With these levels you could be considered hypothyroid.  

What, if any, symptoms do you have?

Your FT4 AND TSH look in range, and it appears as if you don't have any thyroid antibodies, ie hashimotos/graves.
