I had another dumb surgery this week! This time, it was to remove a large mass on my thyroid. The surgeon also had to remove a piece of a bone in my neck. He said it's not cancer but he's doing a biopsy anyway.
For those of you who have known me a long time, you may be thinking, "Dang girl. Didn't you already have issues with your ovaries and adrenal glands and all that other crap?"
And yes. Yes I have.
I have a new endocrinologist, hematologist, and oncologist who are doing some pretty extensive genetic work on me. It looks like I have some sort of endocrine system issue, where I am prone to having trouble with any organ that makes hormones. (All genetic)
Awesome! But at least they're trying to sort me out. I've gone literally decades down here suffering with crappy Louisiana doctors who won't do any sort of testing aside from basic bloodwork.
Anyway. I also learned from this surgery that pain meds do not work on me. I'm talking 4 doses of Dilaudid, morphine, and percoset--- nothing
Sent me home on oxycodone (spell?)
Nothing
Just upset my stomach and made me high without stopping the pain so today I just took Tylenol.
WHY IS MY BODY LIKE THIS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY
ok here's a picture I took when I got home from the hospital. I don't remember taking it. But check out that cut on my neck.
I'm gonna tell people I got it from a knife fight with Tom.
