Surgery,done!

Had my surgery yesterday. It went about an hour longer than planned. Took three hours to remove about 60 lymph nodes. Luckily they weren't too big but they were taken just because of the aggression of my type of Papillary thyroid cancer. He glued the wound shut. I literally have a smiley face from ear to ear... It is crazy!

I am in no pain. I have taken two vicodins to help with the sore throat from the intubation. I am numb from mid cheekbone to clavicle, probably a good thing:)  The doctor told my mom ad hubby that the surgery went really well... 

Today is a blizzard. Hais school as cancelled. So not sure when Lee will come in cause the storm is soo ugly! I got my own room and they said I can see Pikes Peak/Garden of the Gods... Unfortunately with this Storm, I cannot see much at all! But I am loving the quiet time!

Still have two big drains in to help drain fluid from my neck and also a foley catheter  that should be pulled soon cause I am ready to get up.  I am ready to get out of bed!  What stinks too...hubby has my suitcase and was going to bring it this am...with fresh clothes, toothbrush and a hair tie! Lol
