Howdy Everyone!

Just a note to let you know Scout has been having some trouble with her leg. When we got back from California last spring she had a numb spot on the outside of her left leg that was diagnosed as a pinched nerve. Apparently this is common among athletes so obviously I will never experience it. The docs said she should have gotten better after a few weeks but a couple of days ago in Trout Camp at Sun Valley her leg got much worse and she could not walk without a great deal of assistance.

We curtailed our adventure, got her home yesterday and over to our favorite doctor. In a conference call with her neurologist they decided to try her on a regimen of steroid that alleviate inflammation. They are puzzled as to why she is experiencing no pain at all but suspect she has a disk problem with her lower back. Scans did confirm this. But why no pain? Continuity of all nerves tested are nominal.

The meds really worked over night. Scout is gently hobbling around this morning and making my coffee. She hopes for a full recovery soon. I tell her the best medicine is hard work and by that I mean house work!

Anyway, I thought you might want to know. I hope you are all well and enjoying summer!
