I just wanted to check messages from my blog today, but, i know it will take only a little of my time to post an update. I was admitted in the hospital Tuesday afternoon in preparation for my thyroidectomy which was scheduled last Wednesday afternoon.  I am not afraid of the operation, what bothered me most and make me feel nervous all the time is the preparation or the process before the actual surgery.  I am always afraid of needles. I guess, I developed a phobia on needles. An hour before my surgery, I started to feel nervous and became teary eyed when the nurse came to my room and  saw her carrying the dextrose with the needle to be inserted in my vein. Times like this I suddenly remember my friend Ross who has a high tolerance for pain.  I wish I am like her.  Anyway, I was fully awake when I was brought to the operating room, perhaps because the sedative lost it's effect.  My doctor was one hour late as scheduled.

I don't remember anymore what happened during the operation but, it lasted for an hour. Thanks God!and to my doctor, the cyst on my upper back was also removed.  Now, that my operation was over I am very thankful, and feel much better, it was indeed a blessing for me. The day after my surgery although I still feel a little bit dizzy I decided to go home, because I don't like the environment inside the hospital and besides I missed my boys. I feel much better now,although there is still pain.  But, I know few days from now the pain will be gone with the aid of my home medications. Oh, my boys are here now! I can hear them discussing aboutacoustic guitar lessons, well, It's nice to hear my boys has a passion for music. Well,  bye bye for now time to take a rest.
