As it turns out, the decision was made to attempt an MRI at Florida Hospital Altamonte. The endeavor was successful, and so it was not necessary to transport my father to another site.
We are now enduring another night in the hospital as we await a doctor's analysis of the images taken. The concern centers on two vertebrae in his back. One of them appears to be cracked and is probably giving him considerable pain. The other seems to have some sort of growth that may be cancerous.
I am not going to provide details, but due to the Alzheimer's, he is a difficult patient in the extreme. His family members are suffering quite a bit from the stresses of caring for him.
