More Hubby update

OK, we went to the ortho Dr. Who sent us down for more x-rays. Up and down the hallway! The xray's were negative, I am very glad to say. She said his pain was from the back, not the hip. Totally different area, the back can cause a radial pain easily.She asked about a walker or a cane, we decided a cane would help and she talked to the Oncology Dr. who wanted a lab done and to see the Dr. after the labs were done. So, more hallways and 2 elevators later we were at the Oncology clinic. They cancelled next weeks chemo but ordered an MRI and a catscan. The MRI is supposed to be next week or 2. Took him off one of the new meds, and ordered another month of the other. All labs were good tho. Went to the basement to get the cane and of course it was already closed, but we have an appt. to get one tomorrow. Another trip. The Dr. didn't listen and ordered a walker so that will be interesting.....any thing to get him back to walking comfortably is fine. All sounds confusing but the Dr's are very good and want to make sure that all is going fine for him. It's a hassle but I do like the attention they give to all the in's and outs of hubby's health.
