I am glad that I helped you out a little bit. I could feel the nodule on the inside of my throat. Necklaces hurt the seatbelt in the car and even turtlenecks drove me wild! On the outside as it grew you could feel it and sometimes see it. It was not nice. I fondly called him the Alien Nodule "Ned" but now he is gone and I am so much better off without him. The nodule was slightly hyper active so I had heart palpations, tremors in my hands and was always so warm.

You will do great with the surgery. The waiting is the worst part of it. I was surprised when I woke up with a drain tube in my chest. I only spent one night in the hospital though I thought 2 would have been better. But he that is life. My last Sat and Sun I had improved greatly. Every day I feel better and better. Just how one is supposed to heal.

Let me know how your surgery goes. Dont forget your own pillow!!!!!!!!!

Take care and good luck
