Summer had her thyroid surgically removed last Thursday. The surgery went well and she was sent home the next day. Her sister took the kids for the weekend so Summer could really rest for a couple of days.
Summer text messaged me yesterday that she had some pain but that the pain killer takes the edge off- as well as make her super sleepy - of course LOL. I bet the sleep is good for her healing.
She also told me that she never realized how much she uses her neck muscles because even sometimes the slightest movement will cause her to notice the incision pain. I think it is incredible how much we use our necks and really don't notice in our day-to-day life. So for her now, it is especially wonderful that so many people have donated to the child care fund, because lifting a 17 month old up from the ground mos def engages the neck muscles LOL. As the mom of a 20 month old I know it is impossible not to pick up our little ones, and how the help is so appreciated by her.
The doctor gave her thyroid medication which she has begun taking. In my clinical experience it takes a good 3-5 weeks before patients begin to feel more energy with thyroid drugs. So she has something to look forward to!
