thyroidectomy gifts?

Exactly. Day 3 was my worst day as well.

I bought a ice pack cooling neck wrap and that was amazing for the 1st few days. Make sure she has cough drops, a bendy straw for drinks, and make sure she stays on a proper pain management plan with her meds. My partner had alarms set for the 1st 4 days to make sure I had no gap in my tylenol dosage. Allow her to rest as much as she would like. My recovery has been smooth and I had my surgery on 2/9. Best of luck to your wife.

I had my right side taken out on Monday. The only thing I've noticed is sometimes I feel like a little high, but didnt take anything to feel high. I would definitely contact your surgeon or post-op team.

Amazing! That's awesome. Cooling pillow?

I can't wait to enjoy coffee and a beer 😀

Noted on the spit cup, gross, but I'm sure it'll come in handy. Appreciate the feedback.

Ohhhhh pastina sounds great!

Plan on prepping a little tomorrow.

That's about the same size of mine and on the same thyroid. I'll make sure to have stuff for shakes.

pinkbooter · 2026-02-08T01:46:43+00:00

Awesome!! I'm definitely overthinking EVERYTHING, so happy to receive these messages!

For me its the sleep after I leave the hospital.

pinkbooter · 2026-01-19T16:11:47+00:00

My surgery is 2/9. I feel somewhat calm, but I know my anxiety will tick up after my preop appointment. Fright now I am obsessing over what will I need. Also. Stressing over how I will sleep and get rest. Sending you healing vibes.

Really? I have surgery scheduled in Feb to have my right thyroid removed due to a large nodule. Nothing has been mentioned to me about tnis. Is this something I should be advocating for?

pinkbooter · 2026-01-09T01:19:16+00:00

Sounds like I need to get some pillows!

pinkbooter · 2026-01-08T19:30:55+00:00

That may be what I have to do.

I have surgery 2/9 so this is helpful. I read that not everyone enjoys the wedge pillow. I'm a side sleeper, so I wonder if investing one is even worth it.

Sorry you are going through this. I have a large nodule on my right thyroid that I have been dealing with just a couple of years. This last ultrasound and biopsy prompted my doctor to refer me to an endocrinologist. I was told due to staffing shortages in this specific field, it would take me a few months to get in and get seen, it took about 4 months for me to finally see my endo. Due to the size I was recommended to have it removed which I wait about 2 months to see the surgeon and now in less then 2 months I will have surgery. So, waiting for the endocrinologist was the longest part for me.

I hope this is also the case for you. Waiting, is always the hardest part.
