06/16/20 - Daniel, Mary Ann and I left for Philadelphia at 6:30 am for a 9 am appointment with Dr. Wilson.  We had the consultation and it was determined that I should also have an x-ray of the ankle, foot and chest.  I did fall on 5/30 at home.  All of a sudden, the leg went totally numb and I hit the side of my foot so it swelled up and now the 4th and little got black and blue but I do have range of motion.  Not real sure why the chest x-ray.  After the consult, Mary Ann and I went down to the radiology department to get ready for the biopsy.  Since my mobility is so limited, they determined that I could actullay have the biopsy in the chair.  I was so glad that I did not have to move.  They took some samples and the pathologist came and inspected them to make sure they were good enough.  She then continued to take six more samples to give the pathologist enough to make a diagnosis. Off to x-ray.  She was able to take a picture of the ankle and foot in the chair but we had to figure something out for the chest and we finally got it accomplished.  Mary Ann helped dress me and we were off to find some lunch.  Of course, we did a drive through and then we headed for home.  We got back around 4:.00 pm.

I have been in my favorite recliner since then.  Christina has arrived to sit with me.  We will have dinner and she will put me to bed.  She surprised me with strawberry milk shake so I won't be eating alot of lasagna that Christina brought over.  Now, of course, we are in a waiting period for the results in a week and up to 10 days.

For the medical personnel in my family, Dr. Wilson stated that he feels that the diagnosis will probably be either carcinoma or lymphoma.  We will wait and see.
