Jared had an appointment with Dr Bortel, the orthopedic surgeon, this morning. He told the doctor about the pain in his knee and also about the numbness and weakness in his leg. The Dr was very concerned about the numbness and weakness. He left the room to call his wife who is a neuromuscular specialist. She recommended that Jared have an MRI and an EMG. Jared's MRI is scheduled for tomorrow. And then on Tuesday he has an appointment with Dr Shutz (the neuromuscular specialist) to go over the results of the MRI and to have an EMG. Jared also had x-rays of his back but the Dr. didn't expect to see much on those. Also when the Dr tapped Jared's left knee there was no knee-jerk reflex. That was just weird to see. I drove Jared to work and then headed to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for Jared.
Jared dropped us off at soccer practice this evening and then he headed over to his coworkers house. They are using our trailer but the lights need to be rewired. After practice the boys and I played tag. I chased them around the playground and we had a lot of fun.
