I haven't updated in a few weeks but I really haven't had anything eventful to report.
Yesterday I went back to the orthopedist for the 3rd or maybe 4th time. (I've honestly stopped counting!) Once again, he is baffled as to what is wrong with my knee. He has done 2 MRIs, blood tests, and a steroid shot. None of these have solved the mysterious knee injury nor cured it. He is puzzled b/c everything he thought it could be would have gone away now reducing the swelling. He now wants to put a scope into my knee to do some exploration. Jeremy went with me to the appointment and he now thinks we should get a second opinion before cutting my knee.
I don't know what I think...I just know that I want the mystery solved and my knee to be better so I won't have to wear this hot and ugly knee brace. So if you know an orthopedist out there who could give me a second opinion, please pass the name along. Please pray that the Lord would do miraculous things and heal the knee without any kind of procedures. If healing is not His will for this situation, please pray that He will reveal the problem.
Other than that, nothing new. We're traveling to Boone this weekend to see Adrian (Jeremy's brother) graduate from grad school. Only 25 more days of school!

Yay for a new post! I've been waiting. I sure hope you get some good news on your knee soon. I know what it is like for Dr.'s to tell you that they don't know why you're sick or whatever. I will say a prayer for you and your knee. Love you! Miss you! You need to come see Ethan, he's getting so big!!! YAY for school ending soon, then we can hang out!
I'm so sorry about everything with your knee and school. It sounds so frustrating. I am frustrated with my hurt foot I am supposed to be elevating and icing everyday. I am too busy to be hurt. I know you are 100 times more frustrated with your knee. I'm praying for it to get worked out and better soon. I come home in about a month and a half so maybe I will get to see you! Maybe by then everything will be happily worked out:)
Sorry I am late in answering, but I do know Dr. Jerome Jennings in W-S, who has operated on my knee and my wife Pat's knee. We think he does good work. I just had torn cartilage, which he removed. I figure you were looking for someone in Wake Co.
