Several months ago I discovered a big bump on my head. Ha ha bump turned into a ultrasound, an xray, a CT, the ominous suggestion that there were two, one on each side of my head, my suspicion that there is another on my neck, and the discovery that they are extremely oversized lymph nodes. Cut to two days ago, when I have the big one cut out of my head whilst conscious under a local. Fortunately, there was Valium. Unfortunately, Valium isn't quite enough to make me not care when they start digging into my head. That said, my surgeon (same one who took out my thyroid) was amazing and compassionate the whole time. Still.
Don't know why I have bumps on my head. The insides of my bump are off to pathology. More info at a later date.
This morning I woke up in way more pain than I would have expected (given that my far more extreme thyroidectomy hurt not at all, possibly because then I had the benefit of morphine) from the X shaped set of incisions on the back left of my head.
Oh also: did I mention that I'm getting divorced? Probably not. It's okay, it's not as traumatic as it sounds. Let's face it: I'm really really gay. It was worth a shot, but I'm pretty sure more than one person had a bet going for how long that could last. It amicable and I feel relieved. Dido said it best: I want to be a hunter again.
But I have an iPad! At least there's that.

As for the rest? Eh, life is messy. Shit, divorces, and not-so-awesome-after-all marriages happen. I hope the process remains drama free, and that you enjoy hunting again!
