Monday - January 29

Pat informed me last night that it was time to give an update on all of her aliments so here we go:

1. Shoulder - It's progressing.  PT can be painful at time.  They are estimating 5 more weeks of therapy.  Pain is usually only when doing the exercises and therapy, unless she gets it in a position it is not used too.

2. Itching -  Thanks to the Gabapentin, that has been cleared up and has not returned as she is weaning off of the pills.

3. Numbness in fingers - 3 fingers still numb, stiff, sometimes black and blue. Always have the numb and weird feeling in them.  Still only using left hand for pretty much everything.

4. Ears - Still plugged most of the time.  Things sound muffled. Doing Debrox 3 times a day with rinsing.  Not sure it is doing any good, but will continue until Doctor visit 1 week from tomorrow.


Pat now calls me a nurse as well as a caregiver  đŸ˜€


Our Day -  had a number of errands to run so took off mid morning.  Bank for rolls of quarters for Lucky 13 games.  Trader Joes for goodies for friends and some for us.  Party City.  Panera bread for lunch.  Car wash.  Ran past location of her ENT appointment next week so we know where to find it. Publix for soup and chili for tonight's meal.

Got home about 3 hours after we started.

Walked late afternoon with some visiting along the way.  Windy and chilly.

Said goodbye to Tim and Melanie as Buddy and Jo Ann were taking them to the airport to return to Asheville.

Buddy, Jo Ann, Melanie, Tim
