Hey all,
From what we've been reading, like what Glenn said, most Thyroid nodules aren't cancer but I have to have the tests to make sure. Yes, my dr. did do all the blood work....took 6 vials of blood! OUCH!!
The dr. said that I could be pre-diabetic is because of my Neuropathy, my weight gain, the nodules and that I had a child who was over 9 pounds at birth (he was 9-11...another OUCH! LOL) My grandmother was Diabetic after around 60 yrs of age....but she's the only Diabetic in the family.
So now I have to wait for the tests for all that, and trying to get the burned lungs to heal with the inhalers. Mike was reading online last night, we think I inhaled stomach acid after the surgery. When I woke up from surgery my chest was burning and felt on fire! Since I have Barrett's Esophagus we always take a bottle of honey with us to surgery, just in case my esophagus is hurting from being laid down so long during the surgery. So since it was hurting we figured it was because the dr. said I'd have to be laid down flat on my back during the port surgery......guess that's not quite what happened! Today I'm still having trouble breathing and my chest hurts but I think it's not quite as bad as yesterday.......but still miserable.
I hope everyone has a good day today.........love hearing from y'all!!
