October 14, Day 221

Dear Diary,
Wow. I'm so damned out of sorts. I had my surgery yesterday and all went well. It took about 4 hours, but my doctor went in and removed my thyroid and took a look around for anything else that needed to be done. Lymph nodes looked ok, but the thyroid was 9 centimeters, which was about twice as big as they thought. It made things a little more complicated, but it got done. I woke up to see a couple of buddies that had made the drive to check on me, along with my mom and of course TLO. I'm grateful for all of the prayers and well wishers. Grateful for the nurses too. I had a horrible night, sleeping at most for about an hour, then for about 10 minutes on average, but they helped me out tremendously. I have no idea what I weigh at the moment, but seeing as how I was on liquids all day I should be down. Not sure where I'll be when I recover from all this, but I think I'm gonna have a tough time working out. Here's to hoping that daddy's little surgery will be helpful in more ways then one.
