I'm not worried, just bummed

I met with the surgeon today, who, not surprisingly, wants to do surgery. They figured out what kind of tumor I have, and the best recommendation they give is to take out the thyroid lobe. Next Thursday morning, I'll go into the hospital for the surgery, and then they'll admit me to watch me overnight. Should be fine by Monday, and they'll do pathology stuff on the tissue they remove, to make sure there's no cancer. The odds are low, but not zero, that cancer's what we're talking about. I'll let you know.

He pronounced it "hurdle", but it's got an umlaut over the u the way he writes it, so I've been enjoying saying "hueddel" in a fake-german accent.

I'm sure you will get over this hueddel with no problems.
