I found my surgeon - surgery on Wednesday

Today's consultation with the surgeon went very well.  In fact, I have a surgery date, assuming that what I'm feeling in my neck/throat/glands is not the beginning of a cold!  I'm scheduled to go under the knife on Wednesday of this week at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, waaaaay uptown enough so as to be Harlem, I believe.  Apparently, I won't even have to stay overnight in the hospital unless they feel the need to keep me.  The recovery (before I move to the radioactive iodine phase) will be about a week, I'm told.

More tomorrow.
