Four days of hospital stay. I stayed there for three days though because the first day was Nissa’s admission.
Nissa’s surgery went well last Tuesday morning. The doctor removed her thyroid completely because they talked earlier on that it would be upon the discretion of the surgical oncologist if he sees fit to remove both right and left thyroid. The final biopsy is not yet in.
I had this sudden fright when one of the nurses told me that I was needed at the operating room an hour after Nissa was taken in. Her doctor showed me the specimen that they removed from her. He showed me the mass at the left thyroid and some small nodules too. I didn’t bother to take a photo of it because I didn’t want to remember but I took shots of some facilities of the place.
I took shot of the prayer pamphlet and rosaries on her table at the hospital plus the big image of Our Lady Of Guadalupe gifted by Obet’s boss before Nissa’s operation and some shots of her room.

Placed atop Nissa’s bed during her operation, a big photo of Our Lady of Guadalupe which was made of cloth.
Nissa’s room had an extra bed for a watcher and a divan at the other end convenient enough for visitors. First time in a long time I’ve watched early morning news on television.
She’ll be back for check-up a week from now. The final biopsy will be released soon.
Here’s a picture of the both of us taken last night.
I’m hoping for good results Arlene… your smiles are gorgeous, .. keep smiling …xxx
