Hi Bunny,

Today is my first real day up. Surgery went well, didn't do ok afterwards, I got really nauseated, which hadn't happened that bad before. I also didn't expect the incision to be so long! I was in a room with a lday that was so loud and demanding! She drove everyone crazy, including me! Sleep was very elusive! I went home aroung 12:00 noon the next day. It felt so good to be in my own bed! Pain is getting more tolerable. I am going to try to get thtough the day with no meds and just take at night. Eating is still difficult, throat is still sore inside and out.
I went to doctor friday and got the drain out, which made a world of difference! They had hoped to have the pathology report back, but no go. I go in on Tuesday to see my surgeon and get the stitches out. If it is cancer, they tell me they will have me back in on Friday to rermove the rest of the thyroid. I REALLY feel like there is no cancer and now it is just a mattter of watching and testing to make sure that my thyroid is working normally.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! I will be back on when I feel a little more energetic!

Your baby is adorable!!!
Julie
