Disturbing news at the VA. I could use your prayers.

[jonp]

Prayers your way, Ron. Thanks for your help with the 30-06 brass

[Clay M]

I will be praying for you. I had abnormal nodules on my thyroid and the ultrasound showed it to be benign.
I will pray that yours is the same.

Gads buddy giterdone i'll be calling the extra guard

Things are starting to move right along.
I had my pre-op meetings for the EGD today. EGD is Esophagogastroduodenscopy which scopes out the throat, esophagus, stomach, and the top of the small intestine. They also decided to do a colonoscopy at the same time. I did stress throat first because I sure don't want to wake up with a crappy taste in my mouth! That is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
Tuesday morning is an ultrasound and then an appointment with the thyroid doctor. The thyroid doctor is not VA, he is at Saint Mary's Hospital. I'm supposed to take my Magnesium Citrate Oral solution at the same time as my appointment. I guess I'll be a few minutes late for that.
There is sure a lot starting to happen.

I just checked my mail and I have a pulmonary appointment at Saint Mary's a week from Thursday, August 13.

My Doctor had me drink a whole bottle of Miralax . That was the worse part.He put me to sleep with Propofol,So I never knew anything about the procedure.
I have to go back to my Cardiologist tomorrow and get a Echocardiogram.
I will be thinking about you and praying for you tomorrow while I have my procedure.

[LuckyDog]

Can you mix the mag citrus with yellow Gatorade? IIRC that's what I did. What ever I used, yellow Gatorade sure helped keep /get out down.

[bullet maker 57]

Prayers for you and your family.

[Clay M]

And I have never liked yellow Gator aide since then.Hum wonder why I always buy the orange now.

I had a girlfriend that had to have her thyroid killed by radiation then took synthroid. Other than a little fooling around with the dosage to get it correct and some temporary weight gain, which looked very good on her, she didn't miss a beat.

[Artful]

Plan your day around the bathroom after you take your med - trust me it can be a long trip from the lazyboy to the throne.

[Bjornb]

Ron,
very sorry to hear about your health problems. You are in my thoughts my good friend. Get well soon.

[slim1836]

So very glad you're getting everything "moving" fast. I noticed a lump in my neck and within a couple of weeks had a total Thyroidectomy. Mine was cancer, but I was totally cured with the surgery, and quite frankly I was only in the hospital one day. Exceptionally pain free procedure, at least for me it was, and back to work a week later. Other than a dosage of a radioactive isotope capsule I required nothing further except for replacement thyroid tablets.
I pray the Good Lord will keep you and your family from fear and follow you throughout this medical sojourn.

Wishing you the best of luck during your US today. Dont worry, we use different scopes for the top and bottom. LOL.

Thank you for keeping us posted here on CB.

Prayers sent.
