Scott's neck and knee have been really sore this summer, but on Monday, when we went to town to get a treat for our 36th Anniversary, he could barely walk into the store. Whatever happened, it took the pain to another level. We did get a strawberry-rhubarb pie and ice cream, but we weren't able to celebrate much with his sore knee. On Tuesday, he worked half a day, then went to see Dr. Paige. He had to wait almost two hours to get in. He gave him some anti-inflammatory meds and referred him to Jimmy Walker. The next day Scott was able to see Jimmy, and they did an X-ray. He said his knee looked really healthy for a 56-year-old, so he ordered an MRI so they could see the soft tissues. All week Scott tried really hard to rehab it and stay off of it. I would go out to the school and help him get his lesson plans ready for the next day.
Late Saturday night, as he was lying in bed, he went to adjust his leg, and he heard something pop. He then felt intense pain like he hasn't felt since he blew it out in football He said it felt like a level nine out of ten, and he was not able to sleep all night. He texted Jimmy to ask him what he should do. He said he was on-call at the hospital and would call him on his way after church. Jimmy's best guess was that he had a ruptured Baker's cyst. He said they are very painful as all the fluid drains into the muscles and tendons. He said the pain will last about two to three days. We are so hopeful there is no other underlying condition and he can get back to work and we can still go to Disneyland in two weeks. But he won't know until after his MRI.
I can't believe how big Wade looks in this picture.

Cole got this hilarious pacifier for Wade, too funny!
Wade loves to eat bananas through this cool device.
Wade has been a little clingy and fussy this week. I'm pretty sure he is working on some more teeth. He already got two on the bottom.
Sunday morning, I got this SnapChat...sure enough, he got another tooth coming in.
