It’s been a week, since I’ve had the partial thyroidectomy. I’ve been fine until this morning, when I was awake early (as seems to be usual). I need to cough to clear my throat, and it was quite painful. This hasn’t happened before, it’s just been more uncomfortable than anything else. I was worried that something was happening inside my neck. It fel like something could be tearing perhaps?

I got to just after eight, and I messaged the surgery. They called back and offered me an appointment for 11.30. BY 11.30, I felt quite a bit better, and the sharp stabbing pain when coughing had largely gone. I went for the appointment, and the GP said it looked like a possible infection, and gave me some antibiotic cream to spread on the area.

I went to the pharmacy to collect it, and got Kathy’s prescription meds as well. I walked back home and applied some of the new ointment.

Kathy was watching her Chinese stuff, so I decided to go out for another walk, as I need to put some steps in at least. I took my camera with me so I could take a few photographs.

I ended up walking to the Queen’s Head to enjoy some ESB.
