News on Mom


We finally got mom & dad to switch family doctors. Their old one wasn't a very good dr. he spent more time with the pill reps than his patients. Mom had an appointment today with the new dr. she's been having shortness of breath, weakness in her legs, and problems with goiters. First thing he did was take her off the blood pressure pills, and put her on another kind. Because she has reflux she shouldn't have been taking those pills. He also found out that there's something growing behind her heart. He's not sure yet if it has to do with an anursym or if it's a noduler growing. The goiters may not be goiters it may be nodulers. Because the thyroid pill should be shrinking them and it's not. She goes back on friday to have a stress test. Next week she will go to a new Thyroid Dr. The old one she was using was a big time quack, he would ask what are you here for today. The last time he laid across the bed and asked what can I do for you. I'm sure glad she got rid of him, I hope this new Dr. is as good as the family dr. and can find out what's going on. Let's keep her in our prayers. I know she is worried because in the past she has always brought up how her dad died of a massive heart attack, and now this doctor is doin tests on her heart.
