Karen is in the hospital

[Paul]

Karen had her thyroid removed today. Her operation was unexpectedly moved to today. They say that the surgery went well. She should be back tomorrow.

[Freedom]

The title surprised me, as I saw a post from her this morning. Of course, she could have done that from the hospital, lol.

Speedy recovery, Karen. Hope this solves some problem(s) for you, just one pill a day to replace that now.

[Catty1]

Feel better soon, Karen!

Thanks for letting us know, Paul!

[Freckles]

Get better, Karen. Back to good health.

Dear Karen, let's pray that your news continues to be good - after this shocker of an opening to this post.
I am just so sorry that you needed surgery - but I hope the outcome is all positive and you will feel much better.

Just know we all love you - and send you the best loving thoughts for a quick recovery. :love::love::love:

[Moesha]

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

[caseysmom]

Get well soon Karen, I got a little scare too but glad you are doing well.

[Barbara]

Get well soon, Karen. Glad it all worked out.

[Kirsten]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Karen, feel better soon! As someone who's dealing with thyroid problems for many years, I can relate! (((HUGS)))

Paul, thanks for sharing the news!

[Randi]

Sorry you had to be operated, but glad it went well. :) Sending good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Take care! :love:

[phesina]

Thank you for sharing Paul. Wishing you a speedy recovery Karen. :love:

[pomtzu]

Feel better fast, Karen! :love:

[ramanth]

Glad your surgery went well Karen! Hope your recovery is swift! :love:

[lizbud]

Hope all went well with the surgery & you start feeling better soon.:)

[Karen]

Thanks everyone, I just got home. Surgery went extremely well, I am told, and I'm just tired but that will happen when you are awoken at 4 a.m., then 6:30, then 7:15, then ...

I am a bit sore, but this will pass. Good riddance to bad parts, I say! (Two nodules, one in each side, but now they are gone, and no need for chemo or radiation or anything so over and out!)

[Randi]

It's good to hear you're back home - that was quick. :) Take your time to recover and get some sleep. A couple of hours here and there is just not good enough!

Hope you're back to normal in a few days! :love:

[smokey the elder]

I'm glad everything came out all right. One thing to be careful about thyroid hormone replacement: generics are OK, but it's important to stick with one manufacturer only. Thyroid hormone is touchy to get right. Good luck!

[Catty1]

Hope you feel better soon and the med works great!

[AdoreMyDogs]

I was scared when I read the title of this thread! Karen, I'm glad all is going well and the surgery was a success. Phew. Hugs!!!

[Cataholic]

Jeezal! Paul, the man of few words. ;)

Glad I saw this after Karen's update. Keep getting better!

[Karen]

Thanks, everyone! It is good to be home, where no one interrupts my nap to draw blood or anything!

[Randi]

Paul, the man of few words. ;)
Indeed he is, short and to the point, but all the info included. :D

Like Leslie, I nearly passed out when I read the title of the thread!!!:eek: Oh my gosh, Karen, more surgery???:confused: I'm so relieved to hear that the surgery went well, and that you're home, "resting comfortably!" Gosh, at this rate you won't have many parts left for removal!;) Rest up, enjoy the comforts of home (sleep!!!), and hopefully be back on your feet very soon! Lots of love and a BIG hug to you!!!:love::love::love:

I know, I said to some nurse over this stay - "Parted with my gall bladder last year, thyroid this year, wonder what's next year?" Her response? "It's good we have spare parts we can do without!"

All the staff, doctors, nurses and even the nice lady who came to bring me my breakfast and didn't mind when I needed a different cereal (General Mills Corn Flakes are NOT the same as Kelloggs, whose ingredient list I know!) were all very nice.

[carole]

glad to hear all went so well Karen, and you are home and recovering well, take care ,hope hubby is taking good care of you, get well soon.:):love:

[Vermontcat]

Karen, I'm glad to hear that things went well and that you are recovering at home now.:)
Get well soon!

[Laura's Babies]

Sorry to hear you are down Karen, sending healing prayers your way that you bounce back fast!

[Asiel]

Glad to see you're back home-- nothing beats our own home, food and bed for a quick recovery.
Hope everything keeps going smoothly with no glitches.

[kaycountrygal]

Just saw the thread. Glad you're home. Hopefully you can rest and catch up on sleep. Best Wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope the operation and medicine takes care of your problem.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Hope you feel better, Karen!

[AvaJoy]

Healing purrs being sent your way from me and the kitties, Karen.:)

[Karen]

Thanks, everyone, I am feeling more like myself, and glad of it, just sore when I swallow but that is understandable!

[ramanth]

Glad to hear! :D

[Killearn Kitties]

Hope your swallowing is a bit better every day, Karen.

[Medusa]

I hope that you're doing well now, Karen. Feel better. :)

[moosmom]

Glad you're on the mend, Karen. Thanks for posting this Paul.

[ChrisH]

Just reading this ... comes from not checking regularly - must remedy that ... anyhow, am glad to hear everything went well and you are well on the way to a full recovery. {{hugs}}

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Sorry for not replying sooner, I haven't been here for a while...

I 'm happy to hear you are back home now!
I hope you will be feeling better soon!

[Miss Z]

Glad to hear everything went well, Karen, and I imagine by now you're very much recovered. I love the 'spare parts' comment - the body is an amazing thing! :)

[Karen]

Thanks everyone, I am back to normal, just have to wait until next month to see if I have to have radioactive iodine treatments, hoping not! Scar is still scary-looking but doesn't hurt, so that's good!
