Update

Well, I went to have my biopsy done on Friday morning. Chris drove me to Murfreesboro and my sister picked me up after the procedure - actually, the NONprocedure. When I was prepped and ready to go, the doctor decided that I had too many nodules and that the largest ones were too close to my carotid arteries for him to biopsy. SO, I am having a thyroidectomy as soon as we get back from our mission trip to South Dakota (June 15-20). Basically, the are going to go in and remove my entire thyroid gland and cut it apart and biopsy it in the Pathology lab. I will then be on Synthroid (thyroid replacement medication) for the rest of my life. I am very relieved to have a plan of action and to know what needs to be done! My niece's shower went off wonderfully Saturday night and I think I did okay speaking in all three services yesterday. It was a little nerve wracking, but the Lord gave me a sense of peace and guidance as to what to say. My online testimony may be put off for a little while due to a very busy schedule right now and also some things that I am praying through before writing. Thanks for everyone's prayers and concern. I am off to work at a charity golf tournament this afternoon and am really looking forward to that! Have a great day! Love to all - Melissa
