My Journey Notes:
Drain is out and today I should be able to do more side to side movement instead of having to turn my whole head to see something to the left or the right. No pathology report as of yesterday, but the tech said she should be able to have the report for Thursday’s appointment since I would be seeing her and the PA for the removal of the sutures. Then, I’ll be headed back again in another week or so for bloodwork to see where we are and if adjustments need to be made for the now missing thyroid and for the parathyroid levels which were a little lower than anticipated, but thankfully, I’m not showing any of the symptoms of low calcium.

On the funny side: Scared the pest control guy yesterday when I answered the door. He took a few steps back and wanted to know what had happened. His final words after reporting his visit was for me to rest and take care. Not sure if his look and response was much different than a few others at the dr’s office yesterday – though I felt sorry for the kids that were in the reception area. You just can’t hide the 5 inch line of stitches that run across the front of your neck.
