We waited in a small waiting room for my mom to finish her CAT Scan with biopsy.  My sister in law met me in the front of the hospital and we had coffee and chatted about things.   We kept looking for my mom and her friend Arlene to walk through the front door of the hospital.  They must have come in right before we did and we finally walked back to the CAT scan department and there they were.

We waited for them to finally take her back for her CAT scan.  Today is the day that they inserted a needle into her back and took the fluid out of the syringe to look at under the microscope to give her a diagnosis of cancer.

When I was going back to see my mom after the procedure I saw a nice gentleman, my husband goes to lodge with, Ben Hagen was in the bed right next to my mom.  It was such a surprise to see him and he thought for a moment that I had come to visit him.

She was finally released from the CAT scan and we decided to go to Canton's for lunch afterward, my sister in law went and got her daughter Monica and we shared a late lunch.   Now it's a wait and see thing.  She has had some pain and has a band aide in her back where the needle puncture was.
