lump

So there's this lump on my neck, just above the collar bone. Doesn't hurt, doesn't seem to be doing anything, and I only noticed it by chance while shaving one day. My doctor wasn't sure what it was, so she ordered a CAT Scan and chest X-ray, which are scheduled for tomorrow. Then I get to wait a month to meet with the doctor who's actually reading the results.

I feel fine physically, and psychologically I'm more annoyed than anything else, with how much work I'm going to miss and have to make up*, what with tests and doctor appointments (and if it's something that needs to be removed, surgery and recovery). *I'm hourly, not salary, although I do have some personal days to use.

Knowing my luck, it'll probably be something benign that's not worth removing and I'll just have to live with the rest of my life, kind of like my imperfect teeth that aren't quite imperfect enough to warrant the cost of braces.

THis is Mike Hasko, I don't feel like registering just yet.

Prayers and thoughts are with you Bry.

By the way, just in case you were wondering, I *STILL* like potatoes.

Just in case, ya know, you weren't sure or anything.

And here I thought you would make some sort of She's Lump/He's Gump reference. Ah well.

Hey, that reminds me
Does anyone know if Steve
Has an e-mail now?

After all, he's training to work in a religion factory, I figure he's good at exorcising lumps. And don't forget Uncle Bob's strawberry farm that uses bowed-out sales graphs. While taking the final exam on a carpet square. And parking in the white zone, which is for loading and unloading only. At TJ's Hanky Pub. For rel.

Bryan, it's very janky pub. The whole thing. And really, we should just keep it all locked up in the supply tent. It's totally bowed out. Any further questions, call Lipton.
