I know there are more important things going on in the world, but I just wanted to update the 10 or so people on here who cared about my health: I had my thyroid surgery last Thursday.

@KydiaMusic this is unsettlingly common but still supremely unpleasant. more importantly, candles lit for no surprises
Thank you, I appreciate you!

Thanks Greg! Doots has been as cuddly and supportive as always!
@KydiaMusic I knew he would, he’s a good kittipuss!

Oh no worries! They only gave me opioids during and immediately after the surgery. I’ve been controlling the pain with just regular Tylenol since I’ve been home.
@KydiaMusic
Oh, good, I was wondering how far out you were and whether that might be part of why you are so sleepy. Still, just in general you don't have to ignore pain. Never hesitate to follow up with the doctor if you have problems after surgery. Lots of people don't even realize they can call and think they have to wait for their appointment. -

Thanks for your concern and care. I do have a prescription for oxy and anti-nausea meds on hand should I really need them, but I’ve been managing the pain alright with just the Tylenol.

I haven’t got the results back yet on whether it’s cancer or not. Obviously I’m hoping for the best outcome, that the nodule is benign, because I don’t want to go through this again and have the other half of my thyroid removed.

i hope it comes out as benign, sending you good vibes 🧡

@KydiaMusic Sounds like your first post-surgery days were pretty miserable; I'm glad you felt better later on. And, of course, I'm hoping you get good news re: the nodule.
