They transplant the parathyroids?
Yes. You have 4 parathyroid glands--2 on each side of your thyroid. They actually sit directly ON your thyroid. They will remove the parathyroids and transplant them into your neck muscles somewhere.
When I had my surgery done, on one side of my thyroid, I was so lumpy bumpy that they couldn't find my parathyroids. The other side was really underdeveloped (like the size of a raisin) and they could only find 1 parathyroid. Which they transplanted.
I ended up with some complications because of that which I'll tell you if you want, but I don't want to go into if you've already talked to your doc about them. It's not horrible, more inconvenient, and fairly rare.
And, congrats on the grades!!!!
Final grades are in: 3 A's, 2 A-'s. Graduating GPA: 3.93!!!
Confirms what we already knew. You.Are.BRILLIANT! Congrats!!!
That's a better grade point average than I graduated with, and I graduated Cum Laude.
Flashback to my sisters graduation, and my father pointing at the program and snickering how his daughter "cums loud". Ya. I come from a long line of childish perv's.
Ugh. Head still hurts a little. Stoopid yummy beer.
I dunno. This being a BtVS forum, shouldn't there be some "foamy" reference here???
Everyone was telling me horror stories!! I don't know what to expect.
This is where the internet is bad. Because "huh, I had that and ... nothing interesting happened" is not going to be the top hit on a Google. The one time in a million someone had their wisdom teeth out and was abducted by little gray men who were a little too probe-happy? That is the one people click.
I has a new permanent crown. I want to make some Avril-esque comment about being the motherfucking princess but mostly I am just wishing I had anything to eat. This has nothing to do with food textures. It's mostly due to my lack of grocery shopping.
Alternately, there could be a BEAR.
I don't think they let bears perform oral surgery, do they?
Not with those claws, no.
(My dentist, however, is smoking hot. Nothing to do with bears, just felt like mentioning it.)

Well, judging by some of the porn spam that ends up in my email box, bears are not out of the realm of possibilities for what a dentist might be interested in.

Yay, dad! That's great news, Kristin!
WOOOOOOT, Kristin! That's AWESOME!
