Jan is looking much better this morning. She showered and has some color back in her face. I know that drain tube has to be annoying (it's just a plastic tube coming out of her chest and emptying into a little plastic bulb). The incision itself looks pretty good, it's actually along the same scar, in the base of the neck, they did the last surgery at (2000? 2001?), but they had to extend it a few centimeters in each direction.
Jan goes back for her follow-up visit, with the surgeon, on Monday the 29th at which time they'll take out the tube and give us the low down on what comes next. I don't understand everything the thyroid does, but I know she'll continue to take medicine to duplicate its action.
As I prepare to go to work this Christmas Eve, I am reminded how thankful I am for my wife and our life together. Merry Christmas everyone!
