strange lump

my brain and eyes, originally uploaded by ☣ bionerd ☢.

after a CT scan, 'unidentified lump' is rarely the phrase anyone wants to hear. but sure enough, i have a 1.2 cm growth between my orbital ridge and left sinus. the specialist doesn't really know what it is, but he figures it's better to have it out of me than in me, so i have surgery on january 3rd.

will post an update after the surgery. in the meantime, we're headed to florida tomorrow to hang with dr. w's fam for the holidays. in a neat bit of traveling planning, broseephus and the cheese are on our flight there.
