That's wonderful news, Slick!

Thanks a lot for keeping us updated.

Debbie, I'm so glad it went well, you're probably already home by now. Let Terry spoil you rotten, he needs to be occupied - so milk it to the limit!

Sending lots of hugs and hope you'll have a speedy recovery - also headbumpies from Fister.

Thanks Slick!

Hope those furry nurses look after you, Debbie. I'm sure Terry will have briefed them on what you need.

I know it's scary, but I'm sure you'll do fine. I had my entire thyroid removed during a six-hour procedure on July 21, 1995. Mine was enlarged and narrowing my trachea, to the point I was constantly having some coughing and shortness of breath. They had been diagnosing bronchitis off and on for several months, and finally did a chest x-ray and found out what it really was. It was growing inward, not outward, so they hadn't caught it earlier.

They also found a bunch of enlarged lymph nodes in my system, which they did a biopsy on, and diagnosed me with sarcoidosis.

One of the main risk factors they warned me of was that they could possibly nick my vocal cords during the procedure, which might cause me to sound "hoarse" when I talked. That did not happen, and my voice is fine, and I have been on Synthroid ever since.

I had to stay in the hospital for two nights, and the worst part of the experience for me was a terribly sore throat from the tube being put in to keep me breathing during the surgery.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, that everything goes well. Please keep us updated.....

Deb
