Mini Health Update

I have Thyroid & Parathyroid surgery tomorrow and will be out of pocket for a couple of weeks. Ok, it will be hard to stay completely away but considering moving my neck in any direction will hurt, I won’t spend much time on WordPress. Please don’t stop the comments, I’ll take all the encouragement I can get.

There are tumors on my Thyroid and four Parathyroids, the cut on my neck will be 4-6 inches and the surgery is performed with my head straight back. The surgery time is one to four hours with a recovery time at one to two weeks. The recovery time for the neck muscles is much longer. I wonder if Botox will help freeze the muscles to help with pain?

This is my first break from WordPress in 15 years, no telling what type of patient I’ll be. I’ll miss keeping up with the day to day in real time but I’ll catch up while on the mend.

Hugs

Melinda
