I'm still at my parents house, but tomorrow I can leave because I get to drive, YAAAAY! 
I'm doing okay, each day it's getting better, but I still feel like shit and just want to sleep sometimes. My gauze and tape came off, now I just have these tape strips in place over my incision. I'm going to the DR to get those removed on Wednesday. I wanted to try and upload these pictures, first from some lovely Specktra-ettes who sent me a floral arrangement during my first surgery and during my 2nd surgery, sent me MAC, yaaay! 
I hope y'all can see the pics, I'm uploading them as an attachment because Photobucket is being a pain in the ass! |

I've just read all the posts since I have been out of town. I am so glad you are out of the hospital and are on your way to full recovery. Please don't rush to do too much. Let your body heal properly and anyway now's the time to let people fuss over you and wait on you hand and foot. I'm so relieved they did not find anything else. You are such a great example of how to face these battles.
Glad to hear you like your goodies, nothing like some new MAC to make you smile. I know you'll look beautiful in all of them.

I had a thyroidectomy 2 years ago (I didn’t want the surgery but my goiter was getting big & was choking me), luckily none of the nodules were malignant so I got to keep ½ of my thyroid gland.
btw: Where I had surgery they kept me open for a few hours while they tested the nodules for cancer so that they wouldn’t have to open me up again at a later date.
I’m glad you verified the information about the radio. Iodine treatment for this type of cancer, when they told me about it I have to admit I was skeptical because I was like than why would they treat others w/chemo if this works (not that I’m saying that I want chemo)?
I wish you a speedy recovery & minimal scarring.

I just saw your beautiful FOTD and found out about the cancer. I'm so sorry Brittney, but I'm really really happy that it's all going to be ok! You really are one of the most inspirational women I have ever seen in my life.

Oook once again, I'm back with an update!
I just wanted to thank some of the lovely ladies on here again...PLEASE COME FORWARD NOW!!!!!!!!!
Some lovely Specktraettes have spoiled me once more, with more kindness & generosity beyond my wildest dreams.
I know who a few of these women are, so I'm sorry y'all but I have to let the cat out of the bag this time!
I'd like to thank Melissa (melozburngr), Danelle (rbella), Leticia (TISH1127), Rachel (MzzRch) and Adina (Krasevayadancer). That's all I know of right now, sorry ladies I have to give you props & recognition for your extreme acts of kidness!!
If there is anyone else who has been in on sending me the MAC goodies, please come forward so I can thank you too
There have been so many wonderful and great people I've met here at Specktra that I wish I knew in person so we could see each other more often instead of just talking online! I came to Specktra as a MAC and makeup addict and met some amazing people in the process. I started my threads on thyroid disease/cancer because I needed to get it off my chest and I wanted to know if there were others out there going through the same thing as me. I never thought I would spark such a beautiful and loving online support group
Everyone has been SOOOOOOOO supportive from the beginning. So thank you everyone who had to listen to me rant & rave for a while, I wouldn't be able to do it without y'alls support.
This past month has been really hard, but I wouldn't have been able to get through it without the support and kind words of the members of Specktra. This is the BEST internet forum I've ever visited in my life!
My mom brought me some MAC goodies today that the aforementioned ladies got together for me (and anyone else perhaps that may be in on it too!):
Gingerly blush
Outspoken MES trio (LOVE THIS! Y'all are really sparking my love for purples
)
Brave lipstick
Sublime Nature paint
I love all of the items and I can't wait to do a FOTD using them soon!
I know this may sound corny, but my eyes are welling up with tears as a I type this. I'm just so amazed and incredibly grateful for all of the generosity and love that pumps throughout this site. That's all folks, thanks for reading

So I was bad and took my bandages off earlier and here's my end result! There's still a little bit of swelling and excuse that my neck looks dirty. There's some leftover tape residue and a little scab and all that shizz:
What do y'all think? The MA at the MAC counter last week kept going on & on about my bandages and what an awesome scar it was going to leave...LOL a little strange but I think she meant well.

Wow...that scar looks like its going to heal well!! Looks like its barely there at all!! GAWD, I know what you mean about the residue from the tape..it took FOREVER for it to feel not sticky! Do you find you have numbing around the cut? I know that right after the surgury I had quite a bit of nerve damage..but i think most of the numbing is gone now. Good luck for a speedy recovery!!

Thanks for the update. I think your neck looks great when you take into account how recent the surgery was. It appears you are healing very well. Keep up the good work in taking care of yourself.
