Pain in the Leg

Last week, Dad suddenly began having severe leg/hip pain on his left side. The pain has slowed him down quite a bit, forcing him to depend on crutches once again. Dad's orthopedic surgeon was able to see him last week and could not find the source of the problem.

Yesterday, we saw Dad's oncologist who is extremely thorough and has promised to try find the source of the pain. Over the next few days, Dad will have a series of tests and meet with the doctors again next Thursday. We hope that the problem is not serious and can be easily remedied.

On a fun note, we have also made Dad's travel arrangements for this Thanksgiving Holiday. He will be flying home with us on Wednesday, November 21 - arriving in Kansas City in the morning. He will be staying in Kansas City until December 15 and hoping to have a chance to see lots of friends and family on his visit. If you are going to be in the area - we know he would love to see you.
