Surgery in 2 days + wound up in ICU due to thyroid storm less than a week ago
I have surgery on the 23rd (in 2 days) and I’m honestly pretty nervous and trying to get myself ready.
I recently had a thyroid storm and ended up in the ICU, and I’ve been dealing with a lot since then with my thyroid and symptoms. I’m currently on meds like methimazole and propranolol, plus a few others to try to keep things stable until surgery.
At this point I’m just trying to prepare as best I can and not spiral lol.
If anyone has gone through TT surgery, I’d really appreciate advice on:
what you actually brought to the hospital that helped
what you wish you had packed
anything that made the first couple days of recovery easier
foods/things that were easiest to handle after
anything you think I should know going into it
Just trying to go into this as calm and prepared as possible. Any tips would really mean a lot.
