Pat had tough night with severe itching at times. 

Around noon Doris let us know that her husband Rich of 47 years passed away after a long bout with Alzheimer's .  He will be missed by all.  Details of his life are: Funeral Home Obituary

Rich is the first spouse of any of my siblings to pass away.   He took me to my one and only Pro Football game at Soldier Field in fall of 1984 for Bears game.  That season they won the Super Bowl.  Rich was a huge Bears fan, and the family felt that he hung on long enough for a Bears win over the Lions on Sunday.

Early this afternoon Pat had her appointment with Jeff the Physical Therapist.  She is now scheduled for therapy 2 times a week for 12 weeks.  He also increased her exercises to 3 times a day every day at home.

Pat said it was Deja Vu back 13 years she walked into the therapy room and saw all of the equipment.

After therapy we had a stop at Steak n Shake right next door for shakes, etc.  Probably not a good thing that it is 'right next door'.

We call the doctor's staff about the itching.   He called in a prescription for a steroid.   

Walmart texted at 4 p.m. that it was ready.   4 pm in Fort Myers at one of the busiest intersections in the city is Bad News, but off I went.  It is only 6 miles away, but 45 minutes later I was back home with the meds.....  Sure hope they help.

Caught up with Michael a bit this evening, then dinner of leftovers.
