Happy New Year everyone!!
I hope that you all have a happy and blessed 2015!
I had my LEEP procedure on NYE and it went well, I am very grateful for all the support and prayers I've received from my family and friends. I got IV sedation and it was completely awesome. I got put on the bed in the OR and the next thing I knew I was waking up back in my pre-op room. Also, other than some bad cramps for the first few hours after, I'm back to normal now ...
With one exception. Tuesday night my neck started bothering me. It felt like I had maybe strained a muscle or something and it hurt when I'd take a deep breath, cough, and certain times when I swallowed. It got progressively worse over the last 3 days and today I decided to go in. There is a big swollen spot at the bottom of my neck and I thought it might be my thyroid ... and what do you know, I was right. My doctor said he thinks it's a thyroid nodule -- which can be either malignant or benign. MOST are benign, especially when they're painful, which mine is. The nodule is most likely on a nerve, which is causing all the pain I am having. I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Monday and I had labs drawn today to check my thyroid function to see if I might have either hyper or hypo thyroidism that I never knew about. I am praying that it can be easily taken care of and hopefully is not malignant. When it rains it always pours with my health so hopefully this will be my last issue for awhile.
I usually do yearly goals, however, I think it would be more suitable for this year if I break them down into monthly goals. The ONLY goal that I have that will apply to all year is that I have started a 365 day bible study plan. I have said for quite awhile that I want to make more time for the Bible and reading and understanding God's word, but I've never done it continuously. I found a 365 day study plan with about 3 readings per day and also found a really great study method on Pinterest that I love. I've done it both today and yesterday and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm also doing a shorter reading Bible in One Year app on my phone.
I will make another post with my January goals soon!
Hope you all had a wonderful NYE and New Years!
God Bless!
I hope all went well on Monday! My friend recently had a similar procedure and her doctor said the same thing, that most of the time it's benign. All she ended up having to do was readjust the dosage of her thyroid medicine. Sending continued prayers your way!
