medical update

So, I visited my family doctor today
1) There was no mention of my weight, my blood pressure, or my cholesterol level. All of which seemed to have been huge issues at the last visit!
2) The neuro-surgeon did not stress surgery in his report. So I am not going to schedule it. Will see what transpires after my physical therapy is completed.
3) I seem to have developed a eustacian deformity - for which he did write a prescription (or two!)

Now, we just need to see what's up with Jack and his chest pain. Background: He complained that his heart hurt on a Wednesday night - this lasted about 20 minutes. On Thursday, I received a call from the school nurse that he was complaining of these same symptoms and she was detecting a delay in his heart rhythm resulting in a drop in his O2 stats. A trip to the ER, did not show anything since the symptoms did not repeat while we were there. PS Jack loves hospitals!!
Friday, we saw our family doctor who did not want to discount what Jack felt and the nurse saw, so we have a visit scheduled with a pediatric cardiologist! Will let you know.
