Thanks everyone. I feel much better then I did prior to surgery. The reason for having a parathyroidectomy was my calcium levels were sky high as was my pth levels. It was starting to affect my kidney function and causing osteopenia which was something I never had before. The only solution given to me was to remove the affected gland. Hospitalized over night as a precaution to watch calcium levels and then released. Other then a fever the next day, I felt fine, very minor discomfort in neck where incision was and some hoarseness due to surgery. Had a blood test for calcium and levels have returned to normal. Another blood test tomorrow but all should be okay. hope this helps answer your questions G. Ann. Felt pretty crummy prior to surgery but had a wedding to attend to so no time to wallow. Just pushed through it all.
