Headed downtown this morning to drop Pat off at Peter's for coffee and manicure and pedicure. I then ran a few errands and headed home until she was done. From downtown we headed to Panera for lunch.
At 1:20 we had appointment with Dr. Collins to cover the results of Pat's nerve study. She was very thorough and explained the results. Bottom line she needs carpal tunnel surgery as the study shows damage to the hand and palm and muscles will atrophy more if nothing is done.
After surgery she should get some definite relief.
Since she knew we were snowbirds she said they'd work hard to get everything done. The worked some wonders with the schedule. Surgery next Wednesday at the Sanctuary Outpatient Surgical Center. Same building Pat has therapy in.
Stitches come out 8 days later. She should be able to drive after that. 4 weeks with a brace day and night and then 2 weeks with brace at night.
Played Euchre tonight. 3 tables - 12 people. Both Pat and I had very poor cards, but met some new people.
