I had to have oral surgery July 13 for a molar that was flaring up on me every week or two. I didn't want it acting up during the thyroid surgery. So they had to knock me out because I can't take the medication they give for tooth extraction.
This guy beat me up so badly. My face at the chin had a big black and blue bruise my upper lip was busted in two places, different places in my mouth were scraped up. Not to mention the swelling in my face which was expected. Both my wrists had huge bruises on them from where they started one IV and I guess it failed and they moved it to the other. The second wrist was bruised and red and swollen and actually hurt worse than the tooth extraction.
I can tell you how to get over oral surgery.....go have your thyroid removed.

I had my surgery July the 17, and it was found to be cancer. My doctor says there are four kinds of thyroid cancer and two are not treatable. I have one of those which is highly treatable. First they want me to be without any thyroid hormone for abot two months so that my body will be starved for the radioactive iodine pill I will swallow. It will be very effective and I have a 99.7% chance of total recovery. Then I will take a thyroid pill for the rest of my life. I will have to be in isolation for three days, because the doctor said I will be glowing.

I went back to my surgeon who removed my thyroid 11 days ago. He says my vocal chords have been traumatized and there is a chance I will never get my voice back to normal. I can talk but my voice sounds like a thirteen year old boys does when his voice is changing. So the doctor says the airway might have damaged my vocal chords permanently.
For most people that might be OK, not a bad trade off for no cancer.
But you see I have a call of God on my life to sing and praise him. I use to do it all the time.
I have had some bumps in my life that, to make a long story short, have gotten me out of the Christian lifestyle. Out of church and fellowship with other Christians. It has been a long time since I sang for him. The call and the gift was still there and I have always known I would someday be back there in fellowship with HIM and leading others into a deeper understanding and relationship of praise and worship with HIM.
Now it looks as though that gift might be stolen. I have prayed and promised God that if he delivers me from this attack of the enemy that I will go back to doing what he has called me to do . I will sing anywhere anytime no matter if I have just walked back into church in the last five minutes or been back there for twenty years. I will go back and ask to sing whereever I go. I will sing if I weigh 300 lbs or 112 lbs. I will sing if I'm scared or not. I will sing if I have the right clothes or not. I will sing if everyone else in the building is a singer and sings better than I do. I will sing if there are only two or three there that need to have a personal touch from the Lord. I will get busy going about the masters business. Just as soon as he lets me. I've wasted YEARS now, it's time.
I need some people that know how to pray to set themselves in agreement with me that I will be able to sing again.
