I haven't been musical in a little while. I guess I have been too tired. LOL
Here is today's song
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here comes your 19th nervous breakdown. I swear I am headed for one.
Surgery set for May 3rd. It's not twilight. It's not outpatient. It's not 40 minute surgery. It's GENERAL translated INTUBATION It's overnight stay and it's 3-4 hours long. Maybe longer. Since I have had surgery on my neck before, he has to dig thru lots of scar tissue. He doesn't know which gland is bad. So he has to dig around. The more time digging around increases the chances of damaging my nerves, vocal cords and or last 3 remaining parathyroids. If he can't find the bad gland, he is closing me up and will try again in 6 months. How fun does that sound?:
I am not happy :( Everything I thought it would be....it isn't. Hopefully he will find the bad gland and this will be my last next surgery. Everyone who looks at my neck can't even tell I had surgery. Guess that will all change now. :(
So I am trying to stay positive. I AM TIRED. REAL TIRED.
Today I had lidocane sprayed down my nose so the ENT could stick the big 10 inch little tube up my nose and down to see my vocal cords. That was fun. NOT. They look fine he said. It tasted like shit, LOL and made me numb for an hour. Not to mention that I went to my next 3 doctors appointments with snot running down my face. LOL
Had physical and check up at the surgeons office. Then off to anesthesia to discuss the game plan. I requested a private room. I don't like to see strangers when I am not feeling well. :)
SO that's it for now. I am nervous all over again. I hate GENERAL, I thought I could avoid it.
Happy Birthday to me this Friday. :)

Big hugs. I'm here if you need me.....
I was in for Thyrogen 2 today, and mybooty is SORE! Ifeel like I got hit by a truck, too. But I've always known that I'm very sensitive to thyroid hormone flucuations - Hans and I both know it when I skip my meds just one day.....
Nurse reconfirmed, face to face, with that sad, sad look in her eyes, that there is definitely another treatment coming. So next Friday when I go in to discuss the scan, we'll go ahead and get that plan in motion, too...
Feel better soon! (yeah, I know - easier said than done.)
Happy early birthday. I am sorry you have to get surgery again, I had the general too. It stinks.
I hope they find that bugger and fix you ALL up!
BTW such a cute picture!!
I am so sorry about all of this. When I had that spray for them to look at my vocal cords, it freaked me out. I couldn't feel myself breathing!
Happy birthday, and good luck with the surgery. I'll be thinking of you and hoping it all goes well. If there is anything I can do, please let me know!
