Off Topic: I'm having surgery tomorrow

[KB21]

I have a 4 cm nodule on my left thyroid that is benign, but due to the size, it has to be removed because it is pressing on some stuff.  So, I'm having a subtotal thyroidectomy tomorrow.  

While I'm recovering though, it will be good to watch these boys play in Omaha:

I might not see eye to eye with you from time to time; however, you're still a Hawks fan like me!  I'll be praying for a speedy recovery and all to go well with you.  

[JayBirdHawk]

Prayers for you that it goes well and the best for a speedy recovery.

[HawkItus]

Get well soon.

Hope it all goes well, broseph ..... and tell 'em, while they're in there, to take the stick outta yer ahhh nevermind, nevermind.

Hey, I'm just kidding.   Praying for a speedy recovery.  In the meantime, we'll be over here raking JJJ over the coals since you can't defend him.

[Gray Mule]

Prayers for a Hawksquawk member of our family here.  GET WELL SOON !!

[NBASupes]

I wish you a speedy recovery broski

Here’s to a smooth operation and speedy recovery. Someone as stubborn as you should have no problem pulling through this

Hope everything goes smoothly!

From a mental standpoint, the issue I am having is that I am used to being on the other side of this.  People come to me to get better.  I don't like being the patient.  It makes me feel like I have lost my control over the things.  

Being a bearer of knowledge also doesn't help.  I've assisted on thyroidectomies before, so I know what they are going to be doing.  

[Buzzard]

I wish you a fast and great recovery!

KB,

My thoughts, prayers and well wishes are with you and your family.  I greatly enjoy your insights here and I can only hope as the treatment transpires that you feel up to contributing.

Best,

JJ

Wishing you well.

Indeed, that is always the quarrel about health. We never know when or where our name will be selected. We can just try to keep our health in good regard and keep in spirits

My favorite poster turned-villain-turned overall-guy who believes what he believes.  I wish you the best of wishes and a speedy recovery.

Good luck and I hope for a healthy recovery

If this tells you anything about how wound up I get with following my team.  I'm a big Mississippi State fan.  I graduated from MSU in 2002.  I bleed maroon.  Last night, watching that Mississippi State/Vanderbilt game, I got a thumping headache in the 11th inning.  I mean, this sucker was a pounding headache, and I have felt this before.  I got my blood pressure cuff out and checked my blood pressure:

173/112

My wife then jumped my case for getting too worked up about the game.  After I sat down and relaxed a bit after the game, it came down to 153/98.

Woah woah. You need to be very careful.

That was a great game last night.  One of the more dramatic college baseball games I've ever seen.

 

As for your health, go ahead and get that done.  My cousin has thyroid issues, and what she goes through is no joke.

Even if you can't talk for a while, your fingers still work.  So if you take a break, we'll definitely see you on draft night.
