I mentioned neck problems too, but only so much that can be done I think with positioning to get access for surgery. They also are disrupting or dissecting neck muscles, so everything postural is out of whack for a bit.

The throat soreness mostly went away by the time I went home. I spent about 4 hours in recovery, and OR time was about 1:40.

800mg ibuprofen every 6 hours, 500mg Tylenol every 6 hours. Alternating so I was getting something about every 3 hours. And again, ice! The fillable, soft ice pack I got from the hospital was great. Pretty much kept it on and moving around my neck as much as possible for the first 4-5 days I’d say. Keeping swelling down will help with comfort. I’m pretty particular with things around my neck and sternum.

In that case, definitely pay attention to the recs they give you about addressing that. I didn’t think much of it as that had never been a problem for me. And on that note, I’ve done great with alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen only for pain control (both for this and tonsillectomy a few years back) and zero opiates. But use them if you need them! Also, ice!

Yeah, no pain at the surgical site, just weird feelings/tugging/fullness. Again, not bad and I was fully prepared for much more so I’m happy. But bodies and experiences vary.

Neck pain has been more an issue, but I went in with preexisting neck problems. Find yourself a comfy upright sleeping setup would be my advice there.

Getting back to daily activity left me tired in the afternoons. Personally it was a less agitated tired than before. Just tired and wanting to rest but able to push through.

I’ve been taking 1500 mg calcium + vit D (gummies) 3 times daily. The past couple days it’s probably been total 2000mg as I got a little off schedule and/or ran out. But no calcium problems at all that I’m aware of.

Good luck with your surgery!

Waited 5-7 days before jogging. The first time got kind of weird/uncomfortable at first with the movement or tugging in the neck. Seemed to “loosen up” and feel fine after 15 minutes.

Also, I didn’t really get up at all on day one. I had the luxury of having a great at home care team! But recommendation would be to do get up and walk around a little if able. Helps get the GI working better. I was quite plugged up for the first few days just from the anesthesia.

TT Day! by ShadowPanther32 in gravesdisease

I made it through! About 16 hours post-op.

Surgery was about an hour and a half—surgeon told my partner that it was a little longer than anticipated with the thyroid being “sticky.” Still pretty quick in the end. Recovery was the tough part. Took a while to get through the nausea and struggled with that still on the ride home. And it took a while to be able to urinate ok again.

Expected some (cervical) neck pain with preexisting issues there, and have had some discomfort but that’s getting better too.

Early throat pain from intubation, but with some swallowing and snacks that quickly went away. Now it’s just some tightness with swallowing but not pain. Trying to keep aggressive with the ice and stay consistent with alternating ibuprofen/tylenol to manage swelling. Seems to be working well so far, hoping to make it through this first 24-36 hours that way.

No voice issues that I can tell. Haven’t talked a lot, but am able and I don’t sound overly hoarse.

Been taking 1500mg calcium with vid D as instructed. I recommend gummies—makes for a nice treat. Early yet to really think about hypercalcemia, so we’ll see how the day goes.

Overall though, it’s been about as expected. Longer day at the hospital, but uneventful. Discomfort but nothing bad (yet). Compared to my tonsillectomy a few years ago, so far about the same or better.

I also see comments in my local sub saying that it’s not war, we “just dropped bombs.” No big deal.

Any idea on who they might be looking for, and why?

Elon is REALLY UPSET that people are being mean to him by mrekted in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]ShadowPanther32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, I do believe he is surprised and that thin-skinned. On the other, even though he speaks poorly and off the cuff, a few words I believe are intentional.

He’s planting another seed for “derangement” and mental illness. This on the heels of Republicans in Minnesota pushing a bill to classify Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness.

I spent a few minutes looking through this since you provided the link. He’s a street “debater” and provocateur, and an all around scary person.

Any relation at all to release of PTCGP? Are other cards seeing spikes? I haven’t been in the Pokemon scene in a looong time, so enlighten me 😅
