[QUOTE="MrsJRandy2, post: 1516213, member: 396371"] Just an update ... I'm still quite overwhelmed, but feeling a little better physically. I had my surgery and return for another post-op appt tomorrow. The masses on my thyroid were benign. It appeared to be a mass on both sides if thyroid. However, it was one huge mass (the size of a baseball). It was so large it has pushed my trachea 2" to the side. Obviously, that alone would have caused shortness of breath (more of a "can't catch your breath" feeling) and fatigue. He was able to leave the left lobe. Because it was only a partial removal I was not immediately placed on meds. They redrew the labs on Friday and I get the results and plan tomorrow (for thyroid levels). I may not need any meds. My glucose was bouncing between 275 and 375 the day I had the surgery. I was given 3 different doses of insulin. Really scared me! However, my surgeon assured me that it was a post op reaction (stress, steroid, etc). Not sure my primary MD is going to agree. I will see him this Friday and will see my A1C (which will most likely be skewed from the post surgery #s) and find out his plans! [/QUOTE]
