Lou went to see the doctor yesterday. Since late in our trip to Vegas, the upper part of his right arm was hurting him. It only really hurt when he moved it, or if someone touched or hit him there. But Bengay and Mineral Ice didn't help, and Advil only kept the pain at bay a short time. So he decided to go to the doctor finally, and went yesterday.
She took blood (Lou didn't pass out nor hit her - he has a fear of needles), touched his arm a lot asking "Does this hurt?" (and again, Lou managed not to hit her when she found a painful spot), took X-Rays, and scheduled him for a CT scan, at 10:00 tonight.
There is a bump on his bone. It could be nothing to worry about, or it could be some complicated medical term that means he has a bone infection.
Let's all cross our fingers.
UPDATE 6:45 p.m.: Lou's appointment is NEXT Thursday. He wants me to go with him. He says he's had CT scans done before, and it wipes him out, so he wants me to bring him home.

Consider them all crossed! I hope everything works out OK. Give Lou a hug for me, but watch the arm

Thanks, Anne, I will do that tonight.
At least the pain hasn't stopped him from playing FFX. I think the distraction helps.
