To Pat and his Mum thank you for the information and video. I watched and read with great interest before my surgery last Thurs 5th March. I commend you both for sharing with me this experience as Little information is forthcoming from the surgeons themselves. I am now at home struggling with my post op symptoms and have once again watched the video to reassure me that I am not alone. In my case I am the sufferer of graves disease and my 3 sons in their 20 s have little comprehension of the disease. Today I am feeling so down. I have battled this disease for 5 years now through every available treatment and am tired. I am so glad to have found this forum completely by accident. I wish you Pat great improvement in your health and hope you are happy with your "new look" and I wish your Mam the pleasure of seeing you healthy and happy. Thank you again. God Bless you both.
