Ow. Groggy, hurty. but wow can I breathe. I'm told there was a bleeding issue and I lost a half a liter of blood on the table. The surgeon, who does tons of thyroidectomies, said this was one of the most difficult he had ever done.
Apparently they shaved my chest in preparation for going through my sternum. Thanks for not having to do that Doc
Your thyroid is tiny, a delicate little butterfly nestled in your throat. Mine was compared to nearly 2 full 1 liter IV bags. Wow.
I haven't had food since 9pm monday and water since 11:30pm Monday. Suxor. Ice chips are heaven.
Depending on how I do overnight I should be released tomorrow, but I may be here another day.
Now for sleep. It's been a long day.
P.s. Foley catheter? Not freaking cool. Just because there's a hole doesn't mean a tube needs to be shoved up it.
