I am back home.
Got home late Saturday afternoon.
I want to thank everyone who has posted in the two threads that were started about me.
Your good wishes and comments were all very much appreciated.
I did have thyroid cancer. That calls for major surgery which took about 8 hours. After surgery my oxygen level was low so the breathing tube was kept in for some time.
I had an outstanding surgeon. I was told by the nursing staff that he is considered world class. I was in Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in NYC, there is no Columbia-Jewish Hospital in NYC .
Thyroid cancer is fortunately for me a cancer that has a high rate of complete recovery so my prognosis for the long time is excellent.
The part that is not so wonderful is that my voice is raspy now and I have to cut up my food into tiny pieces .
I also will have to probably take 11 pills a day for the rest of my life to mostly make up for the calcium that the thyroid supplies to my body. And the scheduling of those pills is annoying but I am alive and well so I can live with an annoying lifetime pill schedule and chewing my food carefully for a short time.
Again, thanks to all for all your good thoughts for me and my family and hopefully all will be well.

Glad to have you back, Richard.

Richard,

From a new guy on this forum, I wish you a speedy recovery. Obviously, unless we are told, we have no idea what goes on behind the screen. I'm glad your prognosis looks good. Remember, 11 pills a day helps keep the doctor away.

Whether it's a Holy Cross above your bed or a Star Of David, all that matters is your premiums are paid in full and your doctor is still sober

Glad to hear you are doing as well as can be expected Richard. Here's to a speedy rest of your recovery!! (don't all of us older guys take lots of pills?)

[CW]

I wish you and your family the best, Richard, and it's good to see you posting again.

[scyrkin]

Richard,

I heard you were going in for "a procedure" but I had no idea it was so serious! I just read the thread from the start--the first few pages were real nail-biters--and I am so relieved to hear how well you've progressed. Another friend had thyroid cancer a few years ago, and he's doing very well; it hasn't slowed him down at all after recovery from the surgery. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well, too.

My tardy thoughts are with you and your family.

Steve
