Goodbye Thyroid!

The little bugger is gone--all of it! No pictures exsist of the gnarly, overactive, troublesome gland, just evidence of its exit.
We had to be at the hospital by 6am, surgery was scheduled for 8. The surgeon told Kurt that all went well (I slept through it all) and after one night of blissful hospital rest--sense the sarcasm people!--we came home yesterday afternoon. These are self-portraits, I didn't want anyone getting too much of ME in any picture! And the lovely flowers came from the sweetest bunch of ladies whom were all brought together by the internet =)
I'm taking the rest of this week off from work, next week I'll do a couple of half days and then I plan to be back at everything full swing! MANY thanks for all of the well wishes and P&PT's--they are all GREATLY appreciated!!!
