i am surprised and alarmed that the treating doctor didn't caution you and your wife in a better fashion. the urine and excreta would have remained radioactive for at least a week. then the trapped radioactivity within the thyroid gland remains to finish the job of killing off cells to reduce hyperthyroidism for several weeks and only is completely gone after ten half lives which is 80 days.
it is relatively safe to be treated for hyperthyroidism but for the MD to minimize it that way is unresponsible on his part. at any rate, i am happy that things worked out well for your wife.

Follow Ups:
I was not party to the doctor consultation about radiation, half life or any effects.
In retrospect? I with I HAD attended.
I DO know that the dose given was very small as such things go....I'd have to try to find out just how large a dose was administered.
Too much is never enough
probably ~15milliCuries of I131. while relatively small in dose, it still warrants caution.
