So Nick is home from the hospital. We won’t get the biopsy results until later this week; but the orthopedic surgeon said he did not believe the growth was malignant. A better description would be to call it a cyst. Still, a good sized portion of Nick’s femur was involved as the hardware that now holds his leg together will attest.

We were fortunate his leg did not snap before we discovered the problem. Now, we cannot feel sorry for ourselves. Yes, he is in some pain and using a walker, but expected to make a full recovery. We forget how blessed we can be.
