If it's not one thing it's another

So my surgery is scheduled for this coming Friday. They're going to remove a mass on my left parotid gland. It will be a conservative procedure since the pathology report from the biopsy was inconclusive (my doc said those things were useless in these cases). It'll take a week to get the results back, but I should be back at work in a couple of days, albeit with a nice long set of stitches. This is far enough ahead of our Florida trip that it shouldn't be a problem.
