    Hi Suze, I am 23 days post thyroidectomy. Overall doing very well. I too am having hoarseness and at times sqeak when I speak. I still can’t project my voice very loudly like when talking to my husband if we’re not in the same room.
    I have to keep reminding myself that we’re all so different and I don’t think any two surgeries are the same, but hearing others’ experiences have been helpful to me prior to and post thyroidectomy.
    I went back to work one week after my surgery, could’ve used an extra day but figured it would be harder to go back the longer I was away. I was extremely tired that first day. I can’t imagine going back in 2 days! My job though is not physically stressful or physically demanding. I felt less tired every day. My incision looks good, am using Mederma gel daily. Hang in there, our bodies repair and heal at their own pace.

    Thank you! Yes, I started my replacement thyroid the day after surgery. I hope you are doing well.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. I am exploring options. All are scary. My attitude at the present time toward my little butterfly is not so friendly if it’s causing me problems and working against me. I’d like to get this behind me and move on with my life.

    Thank you so much!! That’s really encouraging. Glad to know I don’t need to rush my decision but shouldn’t put off too long either. Thanks again!
