Something isn't right but nobody knows what, another heavier round of antibiotics for now. Next week back to surgeon for an exam, maybe a tissue sample or something if no change...

Welp, mom got lots better with the second antibiotics and now this "thing" has taken up a new residence a bit lower. Her nurse took her to the surgeon for the follow up appt scheduled before and he did a core tissue sample on the spot. Now we're back in the wait for pathology bucket again. Nail bitin' time for another week.

It's the waiting that drives ya nuts...
