A few of you know that I have had a health concern from another thread. A few ask that I keep them posted on how things progress.
Maybe the "Rider Down" section is a better place for this thread, but I think the "Off Topic" section is better suited for this report.... because I'm not down.
To recap: my doc discovered a couple of tumors on my thyroid gland.
Long story short, I went into surgery yesterday morning with the possibility that the tumors could be malignant and that the surgeon would have to remove the whole thyroid gland. The surgeon removed the right side of my thyroid and sent it to pathology while I was still in surgery to determine if the left side needed to be removed.
The good news is that there was
NO CANCER and got to keep the left side of my thyroid gland. This means no treatments either. As far as I know, when I finish healing, this is another closed chapter in my life.
Had to spend the night in the hospital and came home this afternoon. Tried, before surgery, to talk the doc out of the over-night stay, but he and my wife won out. In retrospect, the doc was right... my neck was pretty sore when I woke up.
This was an answer to prayers!
Like I said, I'm not down... just slowed for a few days
