I had to have my nails cleaned up for the surgery and now I am left with thin, weak nails with clear polish.  The past few mos. I've treated myself to what is called gel-powder for a clean, manicured look that lasts 2 weeks, but of course I need only clear for surgery so they had to buff buff buff the stuff off and now they are ready for Tues.

I think it is a good thing to let the nails breathe.  I e-Bay items to pay for the manicures ... something as a pick-me-up :)

Man!  Can't they leave us with just a shred of dignity?  :-)  

I had to do the same thing for a non-thyroid surgery way back when I could afford to have my nails done.  Something about the oxygen meter not being able to get a good reading.  Those were expensive nails too.

Ahhh, the price we pay to donate our thyroids.  :-)

Hang in there!  You'll be able to get your nails back on soon.

It's a funny thing, but they forgot to tell me this stuff before my surgery and I didn't take my nails off (even though I knew I should, but oh well, let them deal with it) and although they complained they still did the surgery, lol. I have thin gels and actually the oxygen meter worked fine.

Hi,

How are you hanging in there? I actually just called my surgeon to move up my surgery, I cant do the waiting game for 8 more week, I waiting to see if I am going on Jan 18 or feb 5. The wait is to much, hope you are doing good. I see you had your nails done! good for you I think I will have a manicure and pedicure before I go in, a little treat for yourself is always good no matter what! Keep in touch & take care.

I'm doing ok.  Been making calls for backup for my 4 kids and carpool arrangements, etc.  Today was finishing appt for my root canal and it looks like it went well but will hurt and I am not allowed anti-inflammatory b4 surgery so she scripted a few heavy-duty pain pills just in case.  

I'm glad you are trying to move up your surgery date.  The least am't of stress for yourself the better.

I bought another candle today .... I know .. I've bought enough the past month, but I love the scent in the house .. it is peaceful and keeps me at ease :) :) :)

leg wax? ouch! never had one but doesnt sound like it will feel to good! not having to shave for a while after surgery would probaly be great. Still waiting to hear back from surgeon for final surgery date pushing for the 18th, so trying to get everything in place to cover the business. Yesterday was my younest brithday! so it was nice to get mind off it for at least a little while :) Cheryl, glad your hanging in there, candles I agree are great ! candle bubble bath are always relaxing! enjoy some quite time!!! I think we all need that.  I'll keep posted the support in this wait is great! thanks everyone :)
