Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

That would be scary seeing a guy dressed like that handing you something to drink.

Your wife had the same type of thyroid cancer? Wow, I have run into so many people that have had it now that I'm talking about it. A nurse I work with had it 3 years ago, went to the same surgeon and same endo that I am going to.

Monday I get to go back to my surgeon and have a scope down my throat to look for any evidence of spreading. Oh goodie. I'm really getting sick of going to doctors, I've seen more in the last 2 months then the last 5 years.
