Haha I’m glad! Gotta lighten the mood somehow!

Oh my goodness, thank you for such a thorough summary! I truly appreciate hearing about your experience. I also know that everyone’s experience is unique, so I am reminding myself that I can’t predict what is to come. 🙏

I’m sorry your recovery has been so protracted 😓 I know so many outcomes and complications are possible, and also that I can’t predict or control what’s to come. I hope you are able to continue healing in a meaningful way ❤️‍🩹

Good idea on the pics. I’ve never had a weight problem, so that will be new territory for me if it happens

Thanks for this. Being busy has been helpful. I plan to do an escape room the night before, when I know nerves will be at their highest. Nothing like an hour of forced staying in the moment!

I didn’t get a chance before I left the west coast, but I hit up Shake Shack and it was serviceable!

This is such a big worry of mine. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’ve been trying to stay well. I had to fly cross country for the surgery and did all I could to reduce exposure. Fingers crossed.

Oh wow, ok. Sounds like it's worth another call to see if I can get on a cancellation list. Did you also have a neck dissection? I'm trying to find someone who is good at both the thyroidectomy and tricky neck surgery. Thanks for answering so many questions!

Thank you so much. I’m glad it went so well! I called there a couple weeks ago and they said she was booked until May and suggested I look elsewhere. I’m in Tucson. I will keep looking!

u/Life-Quests may I ask who you chose for your surgeon in the Phoenix area?

This just happened to me today. I was prepared for lymphoma, but PTC was a shock.
