This past Friday I had a thyroid lobectomy, which was the removal of the left side of my thyroid. I had thyroid nodules and one of them had gotten large enough to where the biopsy wasn't necessarily representative of whether there were any cancerous cells in there. They had to remove it and have the lab test it while I was still in surgery. If there were cancerous cells, they would've had to remove the whole thing. Thankfully, the left side was all they took!
Dave and I were up at the crack of dawn (4:30) and had to be at the hospital by 5:30. Grandpa came over to stay with Ethan and I was luckily home before he went to bed. They originally told me I was going to probably have to spend the night, but because I did so well, they allowed me to go home.
So, here's my permanent battle wound.

I hope that ends your thyroid issues! Glad it was nothing worse, and that you got to be home quickly. Hope you are resting and healing well!
I was wondering how it went, glad to hear that you are making a quick recovery!
glad to hear that surgery went well!!
Orrrrr..........you could say you were fighting with Neo from the Matrix and he did the thing with the opening hand to throat thing, and you still managed to beat him; that would be hardcore!
