Well there lies the problem, Erik got the thumbs up from his doctor, but is procrastinating getting the other tests done. He says he just keeps forgetting, but I really think he is avoiding them on purpose. I have talked to him, nagged him, and even threatened him (with a padded baseball bat) I cant make him get these done, but does anyone have any advice in this area. I appreciate any words of wisdom here! Jennie
