A member asked:
I had my right thyroid removed yesterday. i feel fine. i'm afraid i will "overdo it" since i feel okay. what are my restrictions? lots of rest or no?

Call surgeon: They will have instruction sheet. If no bleeding, minimal bruising just be careful but you can be out and about. No strenuous lifting, contact sports - common sense. If it hurts stop!
