Thyroid-less

They found cancer in my sister's left thyroid gland, which was removed last week. Unfortunately, this meant she had to return to the hospital for surgery #2, which took place yesterday. It went very well and now her thyroid is completely removed, hopefully taking the threat of cancer with it. I visited her after work and she was doing very well, even better than last time! :) It was very stressful for her, but hopefully now she'll get better every day!

I finished my rotation at HealthPlus today and it was bittersweet. I really, really enjoyed it. I can't believe how much I've enjoyed all my rotations! Anyway, everyone at HealthPlus was so friendly and helpful--it was hard to leave all that behind. I got a 98%! :D And my preceptors took me out for lunch. :) On to the next rotation--a compounding pharmacy up in Midland! Should be fun. My second-to-last month of pharm school! :D

Mike and I have a weekend off from social events for the first time in over a month. We're going to cook, watch Secret Life, and do nothing. I'm so excited! :D

Sure--I think you would like it. It's probably the best prepared salmon I've had. :)

is it spicy?

Boomer said...

I think so, but only a little. You probably won't think it's spicy at all. ;) I'm sure you'd like it though. Maybe Mike and I could have you over sometime and we'd make it for you! :D
