It wasn’t until my second thyroid surgery that I begin taking thyroid medication.  My initial dose was 100 micrograms once per day.  This was calculated by my weight.  My TSH levels before the surgery were averaging around 0.8 uIU/ml.  After the surgery my TSH slowly began to elevate....

I decided to gather all of my neck scar pictures and put them in one place so one can see how my neck scar from thyroid surgery healed over time.  This is a very interesting collage of pictures....

It’s the beginning of July and no doctor appointment yet.  I have had a change of health insurance and I am still figuring out the new system.  Now that I have a “pre-existing condition” I am curious how this may affect my health coverage.  I didn’t have any laps of insurance so hopefully I am fully covered.  Because I have had thyroid cancer I’m sure this will always come up with insurances.... 

Summer traveling time is here!  Who says having no thyroid will slow you down!?!  I just took a trip to Arizona and had a blast.  My wife and I spent a couple days up in the remote mountains by Flagstaff.  We went on numerous hikes and four wheeling adventures into the far backcountry.   Some beautiful views I must say.
