More doctors

Just returned from the doctor.  This is a surgeon to whom I was referred because of a  lump on my left hip.  This has been around for many years.  My previous doctor told me it was a bursa--the A-hole.  It has now been diagnosed as a lipoma--a type of very benign tumour.  None-the-less, because it is very slowly growing, and now can cause pain when I try to sleep on that side, it is recommended that it be removed.  (think of a golf ball just under the skin of your hip.)  So I have an appointment for surgery on Jan 9.  We have to be at Grace Hospital by 6:30 am. It could have been done on Jan 2nd, but neither of us wanted to have to be well behaved on Jan 1st.
