Hey everyone,
Well I had surgery on monday it took about 2.5 hrs for the surgery and about 3 hrs in recovery. And I spent the night at the naval hospital. They took out my left thyroid and said it will take about 2-3 wks to recover fully. I will not be put on medication because they want my right thyroid to take over fully. But I can already feel a change.

Must be such a relief to finally have something that is giving you actual, noticable results! Hopefully everything will continue in an upward direction for you.

Lol yea after 4 days never went that long even in the military I got to do a quick spray and rinse. But because my hair is so long Doc told me that I had to wait til fri to wash it cause I have the glue stitches and butterfly type bandage on and wanted to make sure my throat was closed some so the water didnt reopen it. But thank you for bringing that up off the streets. :D
