I met with the surgeon today. I have to say that I feel much better now that I have met with him than I did before. First, I really like him. He is very down to earth, used laymans terms with me, kept the conversation light and most importantly didn't look at his watch even one time! He sat patiently and answered every single question I had. (Well, the ones he could. He didn't have a lot of information about radioactive iodine and I had a lot of questions about it. He told me I could ask those questions of my endocrinologist if we end up having to cross that bridge.) Bottom line....I feel good about him. I trust him. I have confidence in him rooting around in my neck cavity.
My surgery is scheduled for December 3, 2010. He is not overly concerned with getting me in immediately, so it was nice to be able to set the date according to my schedule. Early December works well for me taking time off of work, so I will be able to fully focus on my recovery and not be worried about anything else.
It's been a long day and I am pretty emotionally drained. I will post all the juicy details tomorrow.
