Tests are done

We got up here today early enough to have a quick lunch and then arrive at the Radiology Department around noon.  They gave Marshall a liquid contrast to drink (for the CT scan) and they injected a contrast (for the bone scan).

The CT scan (which was of the hip area) was at 1:00.  The full body bone scan was at 2:20 and lasted about 40 minutes.  Then we checked in to our hotel.

Marshall has kept his good frame of mind all day today.  And he hasn't experienced much pain at all in quite a while, except for occasional twinges and a bad case of Restless Leg Syndrome that seems to hit every night.  And the hot flashes -- which had dropped off for a long while -- now seem to be coming back.

Tonight his nephew Kevin (and Kevin's fiance Angie) are coming by to go to dinner with us, which will be a nice diversion.

Tomorrow morning we need to be back at the hospital at 9:30 for the lab work (PSA test) and then we see the doctor at 10:30 to get all the results.

Our thanks to Dave and Cathy for watching our "kids" for us.  It is so much less stressful knowing the boys are in good hands.

Stay tuned.
