I took Tom to get his Echo Lab test done. We both thought it was ordered to check his legs as he can barely stand to walk they hurt so bad and his balance is off. BUT..the test was on his heart! He will be calling the office tomorrow and giving them Hell for not testing his legs!!! So tired of Doctors putting things off and not doing what you ask them to check out. His doctor and Mine!
He goes tomorrow to the surgeon about his eyes. I have a bad feeling if they put him off more than a few days he will go off on them. He can't even watch TV as he can't see them on a 50" TV. He loves Football, but can't enjoy watching the games. I am about to step in if these doctor's don't do something to help him. I have stayed out of his business, but it looks like I NEED to wake the doctors up and remind them WHY he is seeing them, and what they need to do to HELP him. Sorry, just tired of the VA and the doctors putting him off on things that he needs their help with! He is way too nice. If my legs hurt like his and I couldn't see...I would be calling that office DAILY!
We had Taco Soup for supper again. I sure do love it!

An echo lab does heart tests. It sounds like they are testing his heart for his leg problem and pain. I’m no doctor but I’ve had family and friends with his symptoms and thus the echo lab tests. Hope he gets the help he needs.

The VA should be doing their job and helping him. I hope he gets the help he needs soon.

His eyes must be quite bad
I feel for him I really do
I think I would be calling the office every day if so was on his shoes
You may well be doing a good thing if you step in and let them know what you think
