Medical Update

My Stress-Echo was completely normal and the doctor said that there was no sign of any blockage, so that is good news. I have no idea what may have caused the chest pain that I had.

Jan has been having frequent pains in her ankle so our Dr. referred her to a podiatrist & he took fome x-raysand found a lot of arthritis and bone fragments. He said that the pieces are too big for arthriscopic surgery, so he will have to make longer cuts to get all the pieces. He is also going to repair some tendon damage and possibly some ligament damage. Jan had an MRI done and has a follow-up appointment on Thursday. He probably will be scheduling surgery for her as soon as he can.

I have had a chance to visit with my dad while we are parked in the yard. He is feeling pretty tired and has not even felt up to tending his garden, so we've had a chance to play some cribbage, which he really enjoys. He has a hernia and goes to see a surgeon about that on Thursday.

Glad to hear your heart is ok, sorry Jan needs surgery, but hopefully healing goes well, and the ankle will be lots better. We have been very busy, need some down time. Expect to be at Woodlands on the Lake for a few days the end of July, then to Davison, an ROD park.
