Parathyroid ism was the doctor's diagnosis and after 6 months of a medicine regime to control calcium, my Dad was strong enough for a surgery to remove the bad parathyroid. This was a necessity as the medicine jumped from $40 a month to $300 copayment!
Several trips to KU Med for pre surgery testing were necessary!
1 Hour test
Pre surgery Registration: 3 Hours
Informed Consent Interview: 26 minutes
Overland Park Regional: Abdomen Ultrasound
Surgery Recovery at KU: 3 days
8 hours after Dad's surgery, on June 30, Carson, Jess and I awoke at 5:20 AM and traveled until 11 pm to arrive at American Fork, Utah for the Bishop Family Reunion!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
