So I have a Lump. It is not a large Lump. It is however an Unexpected Lump. The doctor has confirmed that it is indeed a Lump.

We don't know what The Lump is. I have an appointment coming up this Friday to have someone ultrasound The Lump to determine what kind of Lump I now possess.

Hopefully it is not That Kind of Lump. There are entirely benign types of Lump it could be. If it's a Bad Lump it's still in a place where treatment is fairly simple. Survival odds are pretty good even if it's a Very Bad Lump, which is unlikely.

But I have a Lump now and I cannot refuse delivery on it. At the current moment, semantic satiation appears to be my best weapon against The Lump, to make it feel like much less of a thing.

Lump. Lump lump lump lump lump. Lump? Lump.

Hey, thanks for the well-wishes, everyone :)

An ultrasound has been had. There will be no news until Monday, most likely.

LUMP UPDATE:
I have a "small left hydrocele and a mild left variococele." No abnormal blood flow or masses detected. You may now imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "It's naht a toomah" if you are so inclined.
