Today I go in for my pre-op. Thursday I go in for surgery. I will be fine. David will call when he gets home, he can not deal with the cell phone. He probably wont know how to answer it. Or I can call. (LOL LOL LOL)
My thyroid has to go, go , go. This is no big deal. I can live quite nicely without it. After all I have been on medication for several (15) years.
The size of the growth has my doctor concerned. Instead of mm in size it is CM in size. It has changed the shape of my thyroid, and it is hard calcium.
He said if I were his Mom he would do the same thing. (I am old enough to be his Mom). Sweet Doctor that he is.
Now is it Cancer? They will not know until they have it in the lab. For the beginning they are removing the left side only, once it is tested, (if the lab says it definitely is cancer) they will immediately take the right side out.
Why definitely? If the lab says, "It appears to be cancer," they leave the right side alone, but once all the test are complete and it turns out cancerous, they go back in after a week or so and take the other. However and this is big. I requested Redding Medical (or what ever its name is now). When I said that, they said, "Good they have the best pathology lab, they have several tiers they can check".
I also requested it because they took such good care of me when I had open heart surgery.
Another big reason, my cardiologist is just across the parking lot.
So see I have it all under control.
Again I am not concerned. I think I will be fine, after all Cancer has never been a scare in our family. NOT at All, but I can guarantee you what is. HEART DISEASE.
I will miss talking, I know I will, I keep thinking of things to say, ALL THE TIME!!! LOL I Bet that surprises my children. NOT..
Not that it will be for long, I may be pretty raspy for a while like a week or so, so what do I do.
Got it!!! (Per Jeanette my baby sister. )
First I buy a HUGE writing tablet, and Different colored balls. When I want Davids attention I write what I want, throw a ball at him and hold up my sign.
Red means EMERGENCY, (I want it now) Green means, Take your time, Yellow Means Caution. He can't hear me most of the time now. Lord what is that week going to be like? I will have to just keep my mouth shut.
So with all that in mind. Just keep us in your prayers. David will be on one side and My God will be on the other.
He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures,
He leadeth me beside the stillwaters.
Psalms 23:1-2

Any blue ones? Ooooh that was SO RUDE SHERI!! LOL
Dear Sue ~~ Thank you so much for your words about my blog and I am so glad you enjoy the jokes. I agree that laughter is very good for us.
I hope and pray that all goes well with your thyroid operation and that it is not cancer. With God's help, the doctors will do their job well and leave you well, although not allowed to speak. That will be hard but the result is what we want.
Take care, my friend, Love, Merle.
