Good Report

We left the house around 6:45am. Woody was at the check-in desk at Dr. Holt's office by 8:30am for his 9am appointment. Almost as soon as he was taken to a room, he was taken back for an x-ray. But then the slow-down came...Dr. Holt didn't come in to see Woody till 11am, but her visit didn't take long...we were out of her office by 11:15am and heading to the radiology department for his noon appointment for CT scans. We both got quite a bit of reading done while waiting today. I finished a book and Woody got a good start on his book. We were in the car and on the way home by 1pm and drove into our driveway at 3:pm. So a long day...but not as long as some have been! Dr. Holt's report was good...everything looked as it should in the x-ray...no signs of any tumor in that area. And...what I term "the many legged praying mantis" still resides in/on his arm bone. The lighter color in his upper arm bone is the bone cement. He still does have quite a bit of arm pain...which she says can still be attributed to radiation and the pain in his elbow is partially due to muscles that he is using when he is doing his exercises. There is also one place on his elbow that is tender and that is probably caused by motion of the wrist and lower arm bones which aren't exactly aligned correctly. Anyway...Dr. Holt was pleased with how things are looking and Woody will see her again in six months. We're glad to be at home relaxing this evening. Oh, I guess Dr. Holt paid Woody a compliment...she said that his hair looked darker! (But he really is finally getting some gray!)
