Had surgery

If feels so weird not to be able to check blogger from work, but it is now officially block from my work computer and my computer at home is down. My buddy Paul is going to come check the home one out.

I will post what I have been up to a little later, but wanted to give an update on my surgery. It took place this past Tuesday the 15th. I had to spend the night just in case I bleed or has too much swelling blocked my air ways, then I would be close to help. They only removed the left side of my thyroid, which is a good sign. I see the doctor on Monday to get the pathology report. I was able to finally take a shower today and boy did it feel good.

I have had nothing but a lot of tender lovin care before and after my surgery. There were 60 people at my mom's church praying and fasting for 3 days. HOLY MOLY! My sisters, Mom, Jay, niece and my mom's pastors stopped by and tonight Cindy is stopping by to show me her engagment picture and drop off some DVD's to entertain me while I am home. When I arrived from the hposital Jay had the place filled with purple balloons, roses, a card and party garland. It really lifted my spirts to have the place decorated and so much love. Everyone says I have a good color and seems to be healing well, so off I am to the road to recovery.

I'm glad your surgery went well and they did not have to remove all of your thyroid. Good luck on the path reports. Feel better soon!

Thanks! Just got back from the doc and the pathology report shows that it's not cancerous YAY!!!!! The scar is small and will heal over time and just look like a crease in my neck like a natural wrinkle. They just removed the left side! So no radiation and no more surgery for me!

Hey, let me know when you're done w/the DVDs and want some more!

Yeah, not having internet access at work TOTALLY SUCKS ASS. I haven't been able to do so much, like check my email from work so I can get back to my management or association people on issues. I'm totally behind in blogging, too!

Vanessa, I'm glad you're doing well.. I suck at keeping in touch and JUST read this. I haven't even blogged since MAY.

I'm pretty much useless.

BUT I will be seeing you... NEXT WEEK.. haha.

We have internet at work, but many of the important sites like blogger, myspace and match.com are blocked!

SO.. to remedy that...

I have an iTouch! I can access anything from that!


See you soon sweetcheeks
