Thyroid? I don’t need no stinkin’ thyroid!

A quick post from the frontline.

Kitten’s thyroid surgery was successful! She’s resting peacefully on the 10th floor of what is considered by many to be the “Embassy Suites” of hospitals. The surgeon told us the procedure would take about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, but it ended-up taking 7 hours (including recovery). The goiter tested negative for cancer.

I’m so glad to have her back by my side; it’s not often that we’re forced to be separated from each other. I love her tremendously.

One thing Kitten is NOT happy about is using a bedpan. She desperately wanted to use the bathroom instead, but the nurse rejected the idea. How many husbands do you know that would willingly remove and empty a urine-filled bedpan?

Hospital Highlights:

- Kitten declaring, “I’m not drunk,” to the resident surgeon when he was performing a series of reflex tests on her.

- Kitten tells me she released a bowel-shaking fart when she first came out of anesthesia.

- Spending 7 hours in a hospital waiting room, listening to just about every goddamned ring-tone offered. Oh, and watching the train wreck of a show known as Dr. Phil. “He’s got your back!!” What an asshole.

- Watching the hospital escort repeatedly getting the bed, which is carrying the most precious of cargo (Kitten!) stuck while trying to get it into the room. The look on Kitten’s face whilst the escort hit nearly every solid object in the area was priceless.
