I gave the first reefer baby jacket as a shower gift today. I hope they like it. I didn't stay for the shower as I need to run errands, etc. My mother and her next door neighbors have been here for a few days. Her neighbor, Cal, has been having heart problems so they did an angiogram and discovered that although there is blockage, it is to his arm and not considered serious. This is the third specialist he's seen, the first two thought the blockage was in the carotid artery and were advising surgery. This specialist did an angiogram and discovered that the blockage was not that severe. He has been so worried that he has been having anxiety attacks and has been in the emergency room several times. Now he is going to see a neurologist to discover why he is having dizzy spells but otherwise the doctor says he is fine. Of course, the dizzy spells could be from a number of different sources so he is anxious to solve that problem too. Then they will be able to treat the anxiety as a separate issue. Isn't the mind a wonderful thing?
