Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay, sj!

{{{Maria}}} Thinking of you every day.

So I'm kind of scared. My doctor found that my thyroid was enlarged during a routine physical last week. I had an ultrasound done and I have a nodule on my thyroid. I'm now in the waiting room of an ENT doctor that I've been referred to. I hope it's no big deal.

Seconding the it's-nothing-ma for Glamcookie.

Frank, I think you asked me a while back what town the new house is in, and I can't remember if I replied or not. It's in Holden, fwiw.

Glamcookie,

I don't know what that means, but a lot of 'ma headed your way.

Also, near Worcester, I assume?

And Google maps shows me, yes, just a bit North of there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My doctor found that my thyroid was enlarged during a routine physical last week. I had an ultrasound done and I have a nodule on my thyroid

Speaking as someone who has gone through this, I can tell you that 95-99% of thyroid nodules are benign. I do suspect the next step for you will be a biopsy just to make sure. It's a fairly simple proceedure done with a long needle that they insert into the nodule and suck out some cells. They'll pull out cells from 3-4 places. My doc always sprayed a numbing agent on my neck so it didn't even really hurt. Just a pressure.

I'm surprised they sent you to an ENT. An endocrinologist is a thyroid specialist.

I'd be glad to answer any questions you have.
