Hi Nan,

Wow, that all sounds really great! I'm so happy to hear that they did the lobectomy and not the full thyroidectomy. I hope your parathyroid is looking good when the report comes back. Are you waiting for the pathology on the nodule too or were they able to confirm it to be (or not be) malignant?

That's amazing that you were able to walk that distance today and that you're feeling so well, despite the soreness. Hearing all that definitely makes me feel a little less nervous about Tuesday.

The frankenstein thing is funny -- we've been joking about that too. My boyfriend is having too much fun coming up with really ridiculous ideas for tattoos I could get on it (not!). I'm too not concerned about the scar -- it'll take a bit of time but they do fade and blend in with the neck creases.

Again, so happy that you are doing so well! I'll definitely check back in after my surgery.
