Graves Disease

Hey everyone and thanks for being here.
I'm to swallow the radioactive pill on the 12 of January and I'm concerned for my husband and my 2 cats.  Should I stay in a motel for 3 days or will my very small apartment be need for fear of exposure to them?

No - I doun't feel it is necessary to go to a motel and consider that in depth. The cleaning staff will not clean appropriately becuase they do not know what you've been through and contimanation is an issue to others.

You have the control to take care of everything in your enviroment without putting others in jepordy that have no clue what's just transipred.

Consider that before making your final decision.
