surgery
by dlctired, Oct 17, 2007 01:24PM
I had total thyroidectomy done Aug 28th. Some difficulties when dr. went in. nerves were wrapped around thyroid which was little more difficult to take tyroid out. I have done well though. I am on 100 of synthyroid a day. My 3-4 wks after surgery, felt great. now i usually loose energy afternoons and have notice heart rate is somewhat faster. I go for my lab work tomorrow to see where levels are now then to dr. next wk. i am concerned that my incesions looks great but i have this swollen lumpy looking thing in middle. it hasnt gone down since surgery. sensitative to touch still. my voice still sounds strained at times and lucky for some, I cant go back to singing in choir yet. does all this sound normal and is there anything i should ask dr. next wk. thank you

Your voice will take a while longer for singing but before you know it you'll be singing " in the garden" again!
