Jim has a dental appointment this morning. All is well, they are very happy with this teeth. He is proud that they are pleased. He has been trying hard to get those teeth brushed and flossed every morning. They give him a prescription for flouride.
Follow up at the clinic today also. No bloodwork this morning. We discuss the pain in Jim's legs. Neuropathy - not much they can do for it except try to make him comfortable. They are not sure if the nerve damage is permanent, but they do advise it will last for several weeks to several months. They prescribe Gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg in the evenings. After 3 days the dose will increase to 300mg morning and evening. We also ask for several refills on his meds so we have them on hand at home. His Potassium remains low so he will need to continue supplementation. We want nausea meds "just in case", as his nausea comes and goes.
