Here we are almost one whole week post op and I'm finally starting to feel, dare I say, normal! Aside from the tingling I have in my face sometimes that I'm still not sure if its due to low calcium or maybe some nerve damage and just getting down right tired very easy, I feel pretty good. I'm excited to get back to a normal life. I'm starting to get bored at home.
Wednesday I go for my follow up with my surgeon and they will finally take these steri-strips off, which I'm glad. I will finally get a good look at this scar and without all those steri-strips on my neck maybe it won't make it so obvious where everyone stares at me all the time. I will also be meeting with my endocrinologist and he will be doing a repeat ultrasound on my neck. Now I'm not exactly sure why, my pre op ultrasound was so compromised by the size of my left lobe it made the study almost impossible, they actually had to do a cat scan instead to clear me for surgery. I didn't realize my tumor was this large, I never had any symptoms.
On a side note my celiac symptoms have not gone away. A few people mentioned oh maybe you won't have celiac disease anymore once your thyroid is removed, suggesting the cancer had something to do with it since there is studies out there that say celiacs and thyroid disorders go hand in hand. Well so far gluten still bugs me so in the words of Maury that was a lie.
I have a busy day planned for tomorrow, preschool for Audrey, house cleaning, grocery shopping, ya know normal things. Getting my groove back :) goodnight!
