Hi Sue
I've only had a partial thyroidectomy for a dodgy nodule, but I just wanted to reply and wish you all the best.
I'm glad to see your previous post mentions a thoracic surgeon will be on-hand. Please let us know how it goes.
One thing I wished I'd done was to make myself plenty of soup & freeze it! oh and a 'boppy' cushion helps to sleep upright a bit. With very best wishes, Jane
