Post Monday Doc Appointment

Hi everyone! Hope this finds you all well. We had a hectic weekend, birthday parties (happy b'day Jordon!), dinner with Matt & Heather (Matt cooked at our house, it's easier for Dave) and the much dreaded doctor appointment Monday. We were going to meet Dave's new PCP, as his wonderful Dr. Paulis decided not to take VA patients anymore. This had Dave a bit uneasy, he doesn't do change all that well anymore. He fretted all the way there, thank God the appt was 9:00 in the morning. The VA here has moved into a beautiful new building in Oxnard. Long-short, we were sitting in the room waiting for the new doc, and the door flew open and in walked Dr. Paulis! He had a change of heart, and Dave couldn't have been more thrilled. (me, too. He's GREAT) He's decided to only take VA patients, and has signed a 5 year contract with the VA. The appointment went well. It's been 6 months since they found Dave's Thoracic Aneurysm, so he needs to go back to the Cardiac Surgery Clinic so they can see if surgery is indicated. He'll have an MRI in 2 weeks, then the clinic after that. I'll keep you posted on that situation.
On to fun stuff...Dominick is graduating Jr. High on Friday, and as Student Body Pres, he's giving the speech. He's very nervous, but he keeps everything in prospective. He told me earlier on the phone: "Grandma, it's junior high. Nobody will remember what I said by Saturday afternoon!" Boy, he sure has that right. We are all going at 5:15, Matt, Heather and Chris and Dylan, Us, Debbie's Folks, her sisters and their kids. After the graduation, we're off to Joe's Crab Shack for a celebration. Some of Dom's friends and their families will join us there. We're looking forward to it. I hope I can keep Dave in a good spot. Probably not, he does horrible in crowds, but at least I'll have help in the form of Matt and Heather. They've been terrific, and I love them for it.
