Another boring therapy post

Our PT, the lovely Ms. Ego, just sent me an email stating that she had contacted Dr. Dashing and that he wanted us to come see him again. She said that he was concerned about some of the things she mentioned on the phone and wanted to see G's supposed weakness for himself. Supposedly, he wants to see us as soon as possible, preferably this week.

Since I have not heard from Dr. Dashing, I am assuming that she is overstating the urgency here. Last week, I emailed him myself with the therapist's concerns and her desire to contact him. I wanted him to be prepared for the heavily accented hurricane that is Ms. Ego. In his reply, he didn't seem thrilled at the prospect of getting a call from her and he definitely wanted to see G again before recommending that we see a physiatrist.

Ever the diplomat, his response to the whole situation was something like "Sure, if she wants me to check him out and you are okay with it, come on in!" He even offered to have someone from the physiatrists group in his building come in a take a look at G during his appointment. So, I guess we will be going there as soon as we can get in. I think I know what he will say--that G has made huge improvements and is likely to catch up to his peers. But a small part of me fears that he will agree with the therapist, that G is not only low-tone, but weak as well. I don't think another visit will lead to an answer though--all doctors have said that a muscle biopsy is the next thing to do, and no one wants to do it at this age. Least of all me.

In a strange reversal of stance, Ms. Ego has decided that not only does she approve of Dr. Dashing as a reputable neurologist, but that he sounds "attractive and charming" even on the phone. I almost told her that Dr. Dashing is both attractive and charming in person as well, but I got a little afraid that she might ask to come to the appointment with us. Once a week is all I can take.
