Ok since people are wondering what it is I had surgery for the name of what I had removed is called a thyroglossal duct cyst.Basically it's a long
medical term that means I was one of those people who's thyroid gland didn't close properly when they were born.Mostly they manage to catch the problem when a person is still a child and it's rather rare for anyone over
20 to have it.Although from what I learned on the internet you can have it and not know about it for years and even decades.Apparently I must have had some sort of infection which brought it out.The cyst they removed was the size of a walnut.
Instead of stitches they stapled the flap on the throat they took the cyst out together.
I also have a drain in the throat which makes it hard to swallow anything hard.So no burgers and fries for awhile folks,at least for me.On the plus side I did notice I lost some weight.

So, I know next to nothing about medical stuff ... but your throat will make a complete recovery right?

Yes.Right now I have to take anti-biotics and pain killers,but didn't take any pain killer today so far because didn't feel like I needed it yet.The anti-biotics are until I finish the bottle and they also want me to be careful about the pain killers because of the side affects of both.
Today I can even swallow a bit more normally which is great since the last couple days that was hard to do.
I hope to be back to normal by Tuesday when I go in for the post-op follow up.

Got the staples out today!So I don't look like Frankenstein so much.

Will keep praying for a full recovery!

Yay! You are getting there.

I'm glad to hear you're on the mend.
