Hi Skip,

Thanks for your concern.

 "It is my personal opinion that having lots of pain in one location
hinders the body from noticing minor pain in another. Maybe that is why
you didn't notice the UTI.", said Duckie.  She was right one about the
UTI pain and apparently much much more.

My Internist had me admitted to the hospital on Monday after he read the
CT scan.  He has determined that the spot on the x-ray is actually a
mass which showed more clearly on the CT scan. When I went to admitting
at the hospital He had already set up a team to start investigating the
whole scenario. A lot of Docs asking questions and checking me over from
about four different disciplines.  On Tuesday they scheduled me for an
early morning biopsy on the mass in my back.  They took three samples
for the pathology lab.

It will be sometime this next week before the results are available. No
reason too keep me in the hospital so I was released later that day.
The fastest way to get insurance approvals for the test and review by
some many  Docs in short period of time.  My  Internist opinion before
the results is a Lymphoma.  They have taken me off of calcium and
Methotrexate.  A very  rigid schedule for pain relief.  Oxicontin 40 MG
2  tabs every 24 hours, Oxicodone 5 mg every two to four hours and
three Flexeril every 24 hours.  My wife, Jeanne set up a chart of dosing
schedules for each one.  It allows me a way to monitor my pains along
with the medications.

As soon as the pathology reports are in he will call me and has already
set an appointment for me on June 3rd to discuss the results and chart a
course of action.

Hi Alex,

It will be sometime this next week before the  pathology results are
available. No reason too keep me in the hospital so I was released later
that day.

I was able to get a haircut on Saturday (without pain). We appreciate
all the thought and prayers coming our way as we wait for test results.
