I don’t always advocate for my own health. Im the “it’s probably nothing” type. So I owe my wife, like I do for so much in my life, for pushing me to follow up on my sleep issues. The sleep issues haven’t been resolved but along the way we found a lump on my thyroid. Biopsy showed a 75% chance of cancer. So now the thyroid is gone. I’m recovering in the hospital. I’ll find out if it’s cancer in a few days. But I am grateful. And I am lucky. I’m grateful forever to my wife, who I love so much, for doing the hard work of dealing with my dumb ass. I am lucky that thyroid cancer is an extremely treatable form and I’ll be just fine. There are so many who aren’t as lucky. So you won’t hear boohooing from me! Just a thyroid! God saw fit to grant me with a spare! Wait… I don’t think that’s right. Thanks to my friends for the Thyroid Plushie.
