A Visit to the Neurologist

We went to see a neurologist today and have some test performed on Bill's leg. We have confirmed that there is a pinched nerve, whose lining is probably detoriating. His muscle still looks good. Those are both good news. However, we are caught in the middle-man loop of medicine where you have to go back to one guy to ask for a referral for the next thing, so he can refer the next thing, etc. We left feeling frustrated to not have treatment and recovery answers, but did leave with the hope of a full recovery. In fact the neurologist said many recover from this same thing completely on their own. If we are unable to make any headways with his progress in two weeks (or jump through all the hoops), he would like to redo the tests and compare the variances. So, that is that! - so far. In the meantime, we are just trying to keep him from tripping over himself and injuring other parts of his body.

He is taking his mind off things this afternoon by hitting the driving range with Clayton....which is actually hitting floating balls into the lake, marked by yardage buoy. By the way, if you'd like, you can check out the course Bill is "pro-ing" at by going to www.floatinggreen.com.
