On the Road Again

Kenny’s shoulder/back/neck was not getting better after his first visit to his orthopedist (and the subsequent round of meds he was prescribed), so he scheduled another appointment for Monday. His doc wanted him to get a MRI scan beforehand, so he had that done here on Thursday. Then we loaded up the car for the second weekend in a row and the three of us headed back to the Big Easy.

The good part about going in again was that I got to join the girls for Becky’s baby shower on Saturday afternoon, and Kenny and I both got to hang with lots of our friends for a group birthday bash at the Bulldog. Then on Sunday Riley and I wandered around the French Quarter with four crazy women on an absolutely glorious day. All three were really fun events that we previously thought we were going to miss out on, so the trip was definitely worth it!

  

Kenny actually forgot to bring his MRI scans in with him (oops!), but he went to his appointment without them. His doc was emailed the report from the imaging center, and that was apparently sufficient, along with another round of X-rays.

The diagnosis? Tendonitis. Kenny was given a shot to see if it would cure the problem, but it unfortunately didn’t work. So, he’s on a different prescription. He’s supposed to call his doc after 10 days to let him know how he’s doing. All of our fingers are crossed that this works!

We drove back home on Monday afternoon. I fed Riley his dinner and then Kenny took over with him so I could make our Valentine’s dinner. I made this pasta dish with asparagus and French bread. And as a special treat, Kenny had started crème brulee for dessert earlier in the evening, and we had that after dinner while we watched our wedding video. It was a wonderful Valentine’s night!
