Hoorah!  East does not have Hip Dysplasia!

$3,000 and four misdiagnoses over six months… I should be upset, but I’m not in the slightest. I’m so very happy.

So what is wrong with East? I thought maybe Lyme Disease. The symptoms can include lameness in legs, especially if they shift the legs back and forth on a regular basis (which East did for a long time).

So we had him tested. No Lyme Disease. Not too common in the Bay Area or Northern California in general.

Tomorrow he goes starts his neurological examinations. It’s truly astounding that East has been to four doctors, one surgeon, one radiologist, one accupuncturist, one hebalist, one dermatologist and tomorrow, a neurologist. All in less than a year. I can’t even get the doctor from my health plan to call me back. What does that say about our health program? (Oops. Straying. That rant is for another post.)
