Bear has a Syndrome

I took bear to the doctor today.  Last week bear had limped into her office with a red and swollen knee and she had suggested a blood test and booked it in today.  However they discuss cases within the practice and another GP had reviewed the idea and suggested a diagnosis.  To recap, bear had a very stiff, sore and swollen knee that had settled down with ibuprofen and some rest.  It wasn't a happy knee after playing football yesterday but it wasn't as bad as it could be.  So bear was diagnosed with Sinding-Larsen Johansson syndrome.  It's not serious and he'll grow out of it.  Apparently the tendon that holds the shin to the kneecap gets sore.  Treatment is painkillers and rest.  I'll just keep an eye out.  He totally charmed the doctor, who was awesome and explained everything to him.  Bear was happy that he didn't need a blood test but somewhat saddened that I took him in to school afterwards.

Also I passed my theory driving test!  I keep checking the certificate to make sure I haven't got it wrong.  I'm so giddy about it.  Now all (all!) I need to do is the practical, lessons starting next week.  I'm still shocked that I passed as some of the questions were completely unfamiliar and I struggled with the hazard perception test all the way through.  For those not familiar, hazard perception test shows a video clip where you click a mouse when you spot a developing hazard.  I found it hard as there are so many potential hazards in a clip, but I managed it.  I need to see how it translates into real life. 

Thanks for all the good wishes.  I suspect that those good wishes helped push me through.  Thank you
