I never do these entries...

I honestly have never done one of these but I have had such a horrible week that I really wanted to share what I've just been through and still going through. Just in case anyone was wondering why I haven't been around much :p

I was diagnosed a few months ago with Nodules on my thyroid. I was sent to an endocrinologist for a biopsy. The first one was inconclusive...so she wanted to do a second one. The second came back the same way. They recommended me to have a Thyroidectomy...full removal of my thyroid gland. My sister had one done as well for the same reason. My mother also had problems with hers, so it's a family thing I guess...lol.

Now for the fun part. I was scheduled for surgery on Oct 14th...this past tuesday at 8am. The surgery can take around 3 hours to do, and they keep me overnight for observation.

When I woke up I had a breathing tube down my throat, I was not breathing on my own. I looked up on the wall at the Calendar and noticed that the date was the 16th, 2 days after my surgery. I was confused to say the least. I had a rare complication of surgery that ended up paralyzing my vocal cords causing extensive swelling and I wasn't getting any air through...hence the breathing tube. My doctor/surgeon checked me when I woke up by getting me to make noises with my voice, while she looked at my vocal cords. They weren't moving and was still causing me not to breathe, so they put me back under with a breathing tube for the night and she did a Tracheotomy. yeah...I know...fun , right? This has been hell. I just got home from the hospital last night, I'll have this tracheotomy in for a few months....I'll be seeing her again on Friday for further evaluation.

I'm still having trouble breathing and I have to really watch out not to get an infection...if I do, I go into respiratory failure and die...yay me!

ain't life a bitch sometimes?!
