Took my mom to see Dr. Abrams for a followup to her August 17 hand surgery. He told her that the growth they removed was a benign hemangioma, or vascular tumor. She also got her seven stitches removed by a tech.

Finally got to see the stitches that my mom has on her hand from her surgery last week. The purple color is just markings the surgeon made to guide where the zig-zag incision was going to be.

Today my mom had minor hand surgery at UCSD Medical Center here in San Diego. The procedure went very well. She was in and out of the hospital in four hours, from registration to pre-op to surgery to post-op and finally walking out to the car.

Took my mom to see her primary care doctor and go over some stuff before her hand surgery next Tuesday.

Took my mom to her pre-op appointment for her hand surgery next week.

Drove my mom to see Dr. Abrams at Thornton Hospital so he could look at the nodule that’s growing in her hand. He thinks it is a benign vascular tumor and recommended that it be removed.

Took Mami to her scheduled MRI this morning at Thornton. Definitely one of the prettiest hospitals around. Palm trees (fake unfortunately) in the lobby, player piano in the main waiting area.
