Doctors, Doctors, Doctors

This has been an interesting week and it is only Tuesday. Yesterday found Alexis and I in Miles City doing some doctoring.
Alexis was first and she is doing great. She is 4 months old now, weighs in at 11# 14oz and is 23" long. She is in the lower percentiles for her height and weight, but so was Shelby. She will probably be petite also. She has been eating Rice Cereal since the first part of December, so now we are going to move onto the Veggies. I bought some Carrots, Green Beans, Peas, Squash, and Sweet Potatoes. I am excited to see how she does. BUT the most impressive thing of all had to happen!!! Brad was just asking her when she was going to roll over from her belly to her back as she hasn't done it yet. SHE DID IT--only in the Doctor's office!!! I was laughing so hard.....she rolled over and her eyes got HUGE, she didn't know what to think. I told Brad he was going to be mad as she did it then and not before, but at least she did it before she goes to Daycare AND I got to see it first!! I was so excited....she is getting so big!
My appointment was next. I've been having some problems with my back this month, but it is different that it has been before....more nerve stuff down my entire right leg. I know the muscles are spasming, but I can't get any relief. I talked to the Doc and she put me on some muscle relaxers, prednisone (a steriod) and a anti-inflammatory. We were going to see how it went for a couple of weeks before doing anything else, but they decided I better have an MRI. I was figuring next week probably, but I wasn't home 5 minutes and they called to say I am to get one on Thursday afternoon. Then the Neurologist will look at the results and decide if I need to be seen right away or if I can wait a couple weeks when they come to Miles City (I would have to drive to Billings otherwise). We will see....I know there are herniated discs, but am afraid they are worse...especially since my fall off the deck a few years ago. I can say I actually got some sleep last night and today am doing better....the leg doesn't feel like it is on fire right now, but the calf muscles still hurt and my toes still feel numb. Hopefully it will be okay!!!
