MRI

I have probably suffered this form of diagnostic at least 60 some times in the past and today, yet again, sigh.

So, as a refresher:
Wearing an artificial leg has caused some kind of a growth on the bone. 
The leg guy had never seen this happen to a patient before. 
The surgeon equally had never seen anything like it. 
And in last week's CAT scan, they had nothing to contribute as to what the rather large lump is, unless it is a bone infection!
So, next step, MRI.

Personally, I am opting for either a fluid filled sack on the bone or a calcium deposit.  In either case, I will get to see the surgeon for another procedure, but it will help we walk without pain, well it will be worth it ... sigh ... needles, I hate needles!

Unfortunately, if the MRI says it is a bone infection, then the MRI will tell the scope of the infection and suggest the best options.

If it is the latter, well I will not be walking for a while again and may or may not lose more leg - possible the knee this time.  Sigh ... sometimes life can just suck!

ALL prayers sought and appreciated.

Let you know, probably next week, what they find out!
