146. Unknown Injury

Nicholas went to work with Allan today; they had made an appointment to go to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store in Northridge to get Nicholas' phone fixed (it's falling apart!), Allan's iPod fixed and Anthony's iPod fixed. Turns out, they don't fix anything, they just either replace them if it's still under "Apple Care" or you can get another one for 50% off. So, Nicholas is getting a new iPhone for free and the two iPods will be replace at 50% of the cost of a new one. It's not a bad deal considering that Anthony's iPod is over 4 years old!
Then in the afternoon, Allan took Nicholas to the doctor to have that "lump" on his thigh checked out. Good news is, it's not a hernia. Bad news is, they took a bunch of X-rays and the doctor still doesn't know what it is. Could be a cyst, calcification from a previous injury, an enlarged lymph node, etc. He will review the X-rays carefully and is supposed to call me tomorrow to discuss what to do next. In the meantime, he didn't say that Nicholas could not play any sports so he will try to go to Cross Country practice tomorrow.
Hopefully we can figure this out quickly and I cross my fingers that it's nothing serious!
