A Little Bitty Bit Chopped Out

I have a bitty bit of me chopped out now.  My thyroid is gone and so is the the tumor.  The doc was talking like he does believe it is cancer and it was connected to my parathyroid glands but they were able to save them.  He said they turned dusky after he detached them but they came around.  I won't have the official diagnosis for about a week probably.  The original biopsy said suspicious for follicular cancer.

The incision doesn't look as bad as I expected.  I think I only have steri-strips instead of sutures which means less scar!!! Which means WOOT!!  The dressing is completely ridiculous.  It is a pressure dressing that doesn't even cover the incision at all.  It feels like a softball banded to my neck.  That is the worst part.

Portrait of Hotness. LOL.

My Sliced Neck

I had a really cool nurse for the pre-op.  She had me cracking up, which you all know makes me very happy.  Funny people RULE.  My floor nurse was funny and awesome.  We shared some fun stories while my voice held out.  I have barely got a voice at all right now. My right vocal cord nerve took a beating.  I hope it is not permanent because I sound like a Sandpaper Sally.

Darrell bought me the biggest shake I have ever seen.  It is fit for the Andre the Giant types of the world.  Jamocha jamakas me sooooo happy.

Thanks for all of the prayers and messages.  Everyone has really helped me through this.  I love ya guys.  Keep them coming though because it is looking like I may be having a meeting with the radioactive iodine in my future.  Not a super big deal, but not ideal.  I will update again soon because I am watching Happy Gilmore with my dood.  Also, I can't miss Top Model. That would be a total shame.  LMAO!
