Upon further inspection, it is actually pretty large and wrapped around the thyroid. I saw an endocrinologist yesterday and he did a biopsy right then and there. Two shots to numb it and 8 shots to extract cells from different areas of it. I won't know anything until Tuesday or Wednesday. My neck is bruised and sore.<br /><br />Regardless of the results it has to come out because it is pressing against my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">trachea</span>. Surgery. A scar on my neck. Great.<br /><br />He also said that my sugar and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">triglycerides</span> are too high and if I can't get them down within 6 months with diet I will have to go on insulin :( I see the nutritionist on Tuesday.<br /><br />Hoping for the best.Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967712813854683869.post-78673370644854870422010-08-25T05:58:00.002-04:002010-08-25T06:09:02.175-04:00I have a large growth on my thyroid. Seeing an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">endocrinologist</span> tomorrow morning. Not sure if they will do a biopsy then or if they will schedule me for one at a later date. Kinda nervous. <br /><br />Tired. Sore. Muscles tight. Maybe I'll take a nap? Been up since 3:45 this morning.Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967712813854683869.post-24067234081533084162010-08-09T06:02:00.001-04:002010-08-09T06:05:55.721-04:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvb0luAAkxnJ2nHEBbLFMYXEuz0TKjz77h9AAp0U_NYpI5k4qI40Alix7jg_Kb1t2zAEAZ4ZJZDAg81PYejyWNWIPmz3LWWkJYzF3eTr0HhTiu0g2EhKA30gdxM7VCOsrW3W-II8vOkA6/s1600/photo.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503348698261965026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWvb0luAAkxnJ2nHEBbLFMYXEuz0TKjz77h9AAp0U_NYpI5k4qI40Alix7jg_Kb1t2zAEAZ4ZJZDAg81PYejyWNWIPmz3LWWkJYzF3eTr0HhTiu0g2EhKA30gdxM7VCOsrW3W-II8vOkA6/s320/photo.JPG" /></a> Already the lady's man!<br /><br /></div>Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967712813854683869.post-55163588844330882152010-08-09T06:00:00.000-04:002010-08-09T06:01:16.079-04:00Insurance won't pay for the surgery.<br />Defeated.Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7967712813854683869.post-46605847439150879862010-06-24T04:14:00.001-04:002010-06-24T04:17:24.195-04:00<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>, I'll tell you.<br /><br />I am in the early stages of seeking out Lap Band surgery.

There aren't words for me to describe how much I hate the heat. I would rather have snow on the ground and frankly, could use one of those snowed-in days right now! <br /><br />The city wide garage sale is Sunday and Monday. I can't wait!!! My camera will be on hand that day! Last year I had a blast. We start the morning off nice and early by going out to breakfast.<br /><br />I have so much laundry to do it just isn't even funny :(<br /><br />Sleep last night was a joke. Enough said.<br /><br />I'll be back.Vickiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.com0
