One less piece/part

So, I had my thyroid out yesterday.  I didn't really want to do it, but the doctor thought it was time. I'm doing pretty well so far.   The incision area is tight and sore and it hurts to swallow.  But my calcium levels were good, so the doctor let me go home a day or two early!  Yay!

I'm starting to feel like I'm not a whole human being anymore, though.  Too many pieces/parts missing now!

Return to the Living

I have been quite ill.  It all started with a cough and sore throat which eventually turned into bronchitis and then a sinus infection.  Even while taking an antibiotic for the sinus infection, I had a fever over 103° for several days in a row.  It has been less than 100° for a couple of days now, and I am finally able to actually get dressed!  Still no energy at all because I spend most of the night coughing, but maybe I am on my way back to the Land of the Living.

On a more positive note, my biopsies last week were benign, so no thyroidectomy for right now!  I am so relieved!

Biopsy

Tomorrow, I am going to have another fine needle aspiration biopsy on my thyroid.  If it is negative like the last two have been, I am going to put off having a thyroidectomy because I am afraid of the after effects.  Keep your fingers crossed!
