So after wiring my upper jaw didn’t work I went back today. They decided to put in two plates to stabilize the fracture. Definitely not feeling too great right now. Hopefully after this weekend it’ll feel better.

Damn dude, that doesn't sound pleasant.

You need like a frequent flyer card for medical shit or something.  Like an automatic upgrade to the first class waiting room.

I think in America that's called "hitting your out of pocket maximum".

When I was in my twenties I was always in and out hospitals and doctors offices. My Friend's would joke That I should have a gold card and a reserved parking space. It's bad enough when I brought my Dad and wife for their colonoscopies the staff said "Hi Steve, What are you doing here?" I have doctor offices that know my last name & birthday when I check in.

In the latest installment of what’s wrong with Steve. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer today. I had a CT after my facial fracture that showed some abnormal lymph nodes. After a follow up CT of my chest and neck they found multiple enlarged lymph nodes and a nodule on my thyroid. I had a biopsy of a lymph node last Thursday. I got the results today of Thyroid carcinoma. 
I’ll see someone from endocrinology and their surgeons to discuss next steps. I will most likely have my thyroid removed. After that I don’t know. 
So in a strange way getting hit with that puck and getting a facial fracture may save my life.

Jesus fucking christ. When having your face broken ends up being a positive, you know you're getting kicked in the junk way too often. Damn dude, I'm sorry.

Howdy,

Holy shit!

Hopefully catching it early (I hope?) means treatment goes well.  And yeah, having a puck bash your face in ending up being a good thing... Wow!

I saw my surgeon yesterday and I’m having surgery on May 23. I’ll be having a complete Thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. I have multiple cancerous lymph nodes that need to come out. 
 There’s a lot of scary complications, but they are all low chances of happening. The tough part is the lymph nodes that are close to other structures or deep in muscles. There’s some near my corroded artery and  jugular.

Howdy,

"Like" isn't really the right emoticon here for "holy fuck, I hope this goes well and sending you good vibes and hugs".

In about 5 hours I'll be getting ready for my surgery. I skated last night and it was helpful keeping my mind off my impending surgery. It's starting to sink in that it's happening. 

So I will be getting my thyroid removed along with all the lymph nodes in my neck. followed by a second surgery to remove lymph nodes in my chest. Thankfully it will be done laparoscopic and I won't be having my chest cracked open like in open heart surgery. But I'll have a chest tube in for about 24 hours and that's not going to be very pleasant. I want to thank the people who have reached out to me.

Hey man, been travelling and just saw this.

Hope the procedure went well and you're annoying nurses right now!
