Pat had 2 Very Itchy Spells last night. One early at bedtime and one at 4 a.m. Drove her crazy.
Called doctor's office in the morning and they said she could see the PA Michael Young at 1:10.
First therapy with Jeff at 10:30. I took her up to therapy then left to shop at Publix. Mid morning, traffic not real bad, but still took 10 minutes to return the 1 mile and 3 traffic lights...
She had a good therapy session, he added even more exercises.
GHome with the groceries, quick lunch then on our way to Doctor's office.
Michael looked her over and was 'puzzled'. Since she has a rash away from the incision they don't think it is due to the Glue - Durmabond. He consulted with Dr. Mehalik and they decided to have him remove the clear tape that is over the inscision and clean everything with Alcohol.
Once the tape was clear, the incision looked very good. Pat said it felt good to have the area cleaned off. He put steri strips over the entire incision. Wants them to be on at least thru next Monday or 3 weeks after surgery.
Continue on the Prednisone and Benedryl. If it persists call them, otherwise give them a call with status in a week.
After that we drove downtown, learned how to pay for parking with the new system and had dessert and drinks at Peter's. Had a nice visit with Marika.
Tiramasu cake with some alcohol.
Then on home for an easy evening.
Thinking about Doris, her family and all of my siblings at Rich's visitation today and funeral tomorrow.
