Butch and I went to ER in Atlantic this morning. He had pain in his foot, ankle and leg we thought might be a blood clot. They did an EKG, chest x-ray and ultrasound and concluded he had an achilles tendon problem from inactivity and not a blood clot. BUT since his surgeon was in Atlantic anyway...ahem...we were able to see him and Butch was able to get his staples out and get a very good pathology report. There was clear tissue all around what had been removed so they consider that a cure. He must continue to get PSA tests every 3 to 6 months to assure that he remains cancer free. I was so dreading driving in to Omaha tomorrow and now I do not have to...not this week anyway. We do have to go back next week so the catheter can be removed. So here is the latest info and we hope all is well with ya'all on this rain-filled Thursday morning.
