Pat had a very good night. Minimal itching before 10 pm, then all was good.
After leisurely breakfast we took off on a very sunny cool day. Went to Coconut Point mall to exchange the shoes I had purchased for next size up. Then we took a nice easy walk around the huge mall. Pat was very happy to be walking around listening to Christmas music on a gorgeous day. Wanted to have lunch at an Italian restaurant that was highly recommended on Trip Advisor. Unfortunately not open today for lunch.
Decide to go to Cheesecake factory. For many reasons, a bad experience. The best worst example was the 1 hour wait for our food. Wonder how many times the waiter said "sorry, it will be out shortly...."
Then headed north to Barnes and Noble for brief visit. From there we headed to her appointment with the PA Michael Young.
Got right in on time. Pat explained that the itching was still coming at times, but it has moved on down her arm instead of her neck. Michael said that Dr. Mehalik and he had discussed her case yesterday between their surgeries.
He suggested she try Aleve. Since it is moving down the arm it may be more neurological so for that he ordered Gabapentin. Bottom line trying to attack it from two fronts. They don't think she is reacting to the metal they put in as she has the same type of metal in her other shoulder. The mystery continues.
We finally got home about 4 pm.
I went back out at 5:45 to fight the traffic and pick up the Aleve and Gabapentin at Walmart.
We will see what tonight brings.
