Debbie ~ I'm glad that the prognosis is good. As for the scar, I'm thinking a diamond choker for Christmas would be the way to go. There are scar creams on the market that promote faster healing and fading if it really bothers you.

That's great news that you feel more energetic already! I'm so glad you decided to have the surgery when you did.

What a roller coaster of emotions that visit must have been for you, good news, not so good news, close calls and everything! Jeepers!

I'm glad to hear through all of that, the end result was good and you're feeling better. My mom has a terrible thyroid condition, so I know how much it can drag you down.

Your scar should heal nicely too. A little cocoa butter ought to make it disappear in no time.

That is great news, Debbie!!

Glad to hear that everything is ok!

Good thoughts coming your way that the scars will heal. I am glad that the news ended up being good.... but how scared you must have been. Keep healing!

What a beautifully healed scar in a beautiful swan neck

Debbie I'm so glad it's over for you. So good that everything is removed. Having it in the family must really have been scary.

And good that it happens in winter- it will help that scar to be really thin and invisible after it's healed.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! surgery is always scary, but I'm glad you had it done. Better to have those "almost" things removed so you can get on with your life and not worry about it.

I like the way you think, Kuhio! Now if I can just convince Terry.....

Thanks so much everyone. I'm not worried about the scar. My mom has one exactly like it from when she had her para-thyroid(s?) removed in 1986 - see, it does run in the family - and if you didn't know it was there you wouldn't even be able to see it. Her theory is that you can always tell how old someone is by the amount of scars on their body since she has this one, the one on her chest from by pass surgery, along with the one on her leg where they took the vein for her bypass and those made when she had surgery on her knee after their car accident. Gee, hope I never end up with that many.

Thanks so much everyone. Hope Terry's in a good mood tonight - I feel like I dodged a bullet and I'm ready to celebrate! Hmmm.....maybe some shopping for a diamond choker......

Sillie you!
WHY didn't you ask the Doc for an Rx: One Diamond Choker
script while you were there!?

CONGRATS on the You're A-OK report!!

Gee! What a scar! Did they tell you to put vitamine E on it to help keep it from being so bad? You wouldn't believe what vitamine E cream is doing for Eddies burn scars.

I have a friend with that Hashimoto's disease and she is what you would call morbidly obese and can hardly walk due to her weight. It runs in her family she said.

I know how you feel about being that close to cancer... I had some colon polyups removed that were precancerous and that brings your mortality right home to you. THANK GOD for modern day medicine!

Debbie, I'm glad to hear that you're doing well and will be fine. I also agree that a diamond necklace would be the perfect Christmas gift for you.

I'm glad you're recovering well. If you want to talk, PM me. I've been battling thyroid trouble since 14 (no surgery yet, thanks to heaven.)
