Tomorrow is the big day!

I have having my whole thyroid take out tomorrow. I am still nervous but not as bad as I was this time last week. I can't believe it is finally happening. I had my fna on June 19th of this year and three weeks later found out that had a suspicious nodule. So, two months of worrying about this potentially cancerous nodule sitting in my throat, will all be over tomorrow! It will be gone and I couldn't be happier to know that it will gone. I pray, pray, pray that it will not be cancer and I am praying that if it is, than getting the whole thyroid out will be a HUGE step in getting rid of it.  
I am still nervous though folks and need some encouragement. I need to hear how common thyroid surgery is and how people don't die from it! I am so worried about not waking up after surgery. I keep telling myself that people have much more dangerous surgeries everyday and they survive just fine. I pray that this time next week I will be embarassed by how scared I was. I pray that I tell everyone how great I am feeling and how it was so silly for me to soooo scared of a little ol thyroid removal.
Any last tips or advice before I go under the knife?

Is there a risk to waking up during the surgery? That would be horrible! Also, do they put a catheder in you when you have a TT? How do you come out of it? It really only takes a few secounds to go under? That is fast!

Hello!!  My grandfather which is now 82yrs young had his thyroid removed 30yrs ago. He has been fine ever since. In fact he still drives and mows his own grass and fixes everyones car.  Sooo your surgery will be a breeze.
We will look forward to your posting when you return to the forum

i had my thyroid out two years ago and i woke up feeling great (could have been the anasthetic) the biggest problem i had was when i wanted to sit up you dont realise how hard that is with no neck muscles but it was only the following day then it was ok. the worst thing about it was the two drains one each side to drain blood.  but on the whole i felt better than i had for a long time and i wouldn't change doing it for anything you will be fine and relieved and you know for sure if there was anything wrong so there will be no more worrying or wondering just looking forward to feeling better best of luck tomorrow get a good night sleep and dont worry you will be fine
