Dad's pain from yesterday was joint pain that occurred in multiple locations: knees, lower back. Pain still exists this morning, but it's not as bad as yesterday afternoon and evening.

At 12:50 pm, we are headed to a hospital in Bellaire where Dr. Shinn also maintains office hours. Mom and Dad will ask Dr. Shinn about pain and possibly getting a stronger pain reliever prescription.

Arrived at Belmont County Hospital in downtown Bellaire at 1:30 pm.

We are seated in Schiffler Cancer Center on the third floor.

At 1:50 pm Dad called back. Mom went with him.

Dad done with meeting Dr Shinn at 2:25 pm. Dad needs to go back to Wheeling hospital tomorrow for fluids. And then back to Wheeling on Monday for blood work.

Dad has been doing so-so this evening. Still having a lot of bone joint discomfort which may last into the weekend.

At about 9pm he took one of the stronger pain relievers prescribed today by Dr Shinn. We stopped at Sam's Club to pickup the prescription.
