@mariahjoyyy: Here are a few of the things that have helped me survive the first few days post partial thyroidectomy! Stool softeners/laxatives Advil/Tylenol PM Throat numbing sprays/losenges Neck/back heating pad #thyroid #thyroidectomyrecovery #thyroidectomyjourney #partialthyroidectomy #surgery
The throat and lung stuff from intubation stinks! Never been intubated until my total thyroidectomy, which was 7 days ago. I have the same heating pad!

Mine was 6.1 cm two months ago and my surgery isn’t for two more months. I’m freaked out. It’s on my right lobe as well and they’re removing my whole right lobe as well. 🥲

The intubation pain is by far the worse part being almost 2 weeks out. It lasted over a week for me.

You covered everything perfectly. The PACU nurse gave me colace the night of my surgery and told me to stay on top of that with the MiraLAX. Thankful for her
