Tricia, you are so sweet, your words are very comforting. about the journaling, i do have a kind of spiritual notebook that i go to often, i have heard of some people who leave personal videos for their children and family to have when the time comes. i dont have a video a video cam and dont think i could do that anyway. but for the people who do i have much respect for them. Abijann, i add my thoughts and prayers for you too, hope to " see ya " soon. If anyone might want to chat feel free to IM and or email me. if i can support you or just be a shoulder or a prayer partner- i still push myself to work, out of sheer necessity, and trying to pay the bills. it gets so hard sometimes, i am in pain all the time, i keep looking upward and leaning on God for the strength. He is so faithful. huggs, jodoco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi , I wish you all the very best with the total thyroidectomy.

I am having a total thyroidectomy tomorrow...my ENT decided a few weeks ago that my thyroid needs to come out. I have Hashimoto's and my goiter have doubled in size since my ultrasound 6 months ago. It is 10.3cm wide and 2cm deep. The right lobe is 5.0cm and the left lobe is 5.3cm. We gave coservative therapy a shot, but it didn't work and my swallowing and breathing problems are getting worse. My voice is so hoarse that it is affecting my job performance. *sigh* Anyways, that is the short version...I appreciate any last minute advice from those who have been through this procedure or who had a loved one go through it. Thanks! Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
