I wish you all the luck in the world Donna. You sound like a strong lady and I'm sure all will be fine but of course you are nervous and anxious, it's normal. Look after yourself after the surgery, allow yourself time to heal. Sending healing thoughts. j x

The worst part of this operation for me was the thought of it!

There's no point saying don't worry, but the worry will soon be over and you'll be at home feeling very relieved and you should also feel very proud of yourself for facing it.

[DonnaT86 in reply to shambles]

Yer even my family have been saying to me it's probably no where near as bad as your thinking but the worry and anxiety just takes over.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. Roll on Tuesday evening lol

Good Luck Donna! I had my surgery in June and there was little pain. Much easier than I expected. Give yourself time to heal. My biggest problem was my parathyroids being disturbed and a drop in calcium. This was a day after surgery. Easy fix with chewable calcium. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[DonnaT86 in reply to jls1409]

Thank you so much, I'm glad your surgery went well that's great to hear apart from the calcium but glad it was easily rectified.

Thank you x

I needed Calcium too but very easy to sort. You will probably find you get a strange tingling sensation around your nose and mouth, so grab the calcium quickly, chew madly and it will be gone in minutes.

Good luck and looking forward to hearing you are back home with a husband busily cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

[DonnaT86 in reply to Hennerton]

Thank you I will make sure if I have any tingling to alert someone immediately.

Haha thank you this is my opportunity to get my husband waiting on me lol, I'm let you know how that works out.

[Hennerton in reply to DonnaT86]

They will automatically send you home with the calcium, at least they did for me. It is important to take it very quickly if you feel it starting. I had only a few days of it and then the parathyroids calmed down and have been fine ever since (2006). Good luck!

Hi everyone Just to let you all know the surgery did not go ahead in the end, I got there had my ECG done, pulse rate done got into the gown and then was told my heart is erratic, pulse is too high and my thyroid levels are still higher then they would like and said i would be at high risk of something fatal happening if I went through with it.

I do need to be put on some beta blockers for abit has anyone taken these before? Is there any symptoms from it?
