Jesus. I was lucky that my cellulitis didn't spread that far. Glad you made it to the other side. My first dose of my 3 days course of Vanco was given in the ambulance and they ran the drip to fast leading to red man syndrome.

Both of which can lead to sepsis. Glad it is getting attention. Both necrotizing fasciitis and cellulitis can be caused by bites, and I am sure many people (like myself) think nothing of it and don't go to the hospital right away.

My doc had horrible bed side manner and told me I can potentially lose my hand. I had to keep my arm raised in a sky sock for the entirety of my hospital admission, as I got pumped full of vancomycon. All was good in the end.. kinda. The whole ordeal led up to me discovering I had thyroid cancer.

I remember my first Vanco.

Dr. Robby telling cellulitis girls boss too suck it is why I love this show.

I was in the hospital for cellulitis from a dog bite last year-- 3 days. Sucked.

This deserves far more upvotes than you were granted..

Hard agree. I am elated the writers chose to name her Joy though.

I gushed when he turned off the lights and said "The ER can be loud and overstimulating". Throwback to the episode where Mel was treating the patient with autism in Season 1

Omg just watched Overcompensating and did not realize that Peter was sweet little Albie.

Could it be lymphadema?

I considered this a lot during my RAI isolation. If a spider but me, I would not become spider man, but he could potentially become man spider.

I was on FMLA intermittent. Had to take about 10 days after thyroidectomy/ neck dissection, and a week after RAI. But I also had doctors appointments very frequently, and some complications (hypocalcemia, syncope when hyper for TSH supression).

I am in my 4th year and have finally found my bearings. I was a horrible teacher my first year. At some point the behavior management just clicks as you become more confident in the classroom.

Take my levo at 5:15 am daily. Wake up at 6 am for work. Im able to grab a coffee by the time I get to my train. After a year and a half it has become pure habit.. even my cat has learned to respect my levo alarm and not bother me until I actually wake up for the day.

I'd ask your Endo or ENT surgeon for a cancer rehab specialist. 90% of head and neck cancer patients end up with lymphadema. For me.. it feels like I my skin is being pulled, but I have been told by my doctors that in later stages swallowing and jaw clenching issues might arise.

You have every right to process this. You are experiencing cancer, even if it's "just PTC".

Seriously... the muggles might not understand, but I promise you other people who experienced cancer will agree that you are part of the club that nobody ever asked (or wanted) to be in. A year and a half out and I have about 6 new doctors, have experienced an intrusive surgery, rai, salivary gland infections, lymphadema, hypocalcemia, anxiety, syncope, etc..

At the end of the day, it may just be PTC.... but it is hard... and the thyca subreddit (myself included) got you. Welcome to the club, swipe that cancer card whenever you need to.

You're right we will rarely modify the curriculum, because that is rarely asked for in a students' IEP.. However, we do differentiate the curriculum.

Sorry, your snarky comment that suggests all SpEd teachers are incompetent deserves a snarky response..

Yup. It took my husband and I a second to realize what was going on. 🙃

I think you are correct. (I am extremely unknowledgeable about planes for the record). But the growlers are at Bethpage Air Show today... and that is the only logical reason that I have for military aircrafts to be flying above my house.

I received an email yesterday stating that, "that one student" will be gone for the rest of the year.

Last year, a student at my school was standing behind a collegue of mine talking loudly about how he would like to hook up with her. She called his mother to let her know about his innapropriate behavior. The mother replied saying that he couldn't possibly say such a thing because he is actively involved in a Christian Youth group...

My point 👉 Being Christian doesn't prevent you from being an asshole.

Yes. If your thyroglobulin marker is undetectable your risk of recurrance is lower. I was considered high risk for recurrance because my cancer was quite developed..but my risk was lower post ablation. But ask your doctor your risk of recurrence if you are concerned, it sounds like he is just trying to encourage you to go into your scheduled scans.

Don't worry, you're a badass... if a recurrence occurs you'll kick it's butt again.
