Friday update

Things are pretty much status quo for Woody. Which is a good thing--except for the peeling and the itching--he will tell you those aren't good things! I keep wondering when those two side effects will end.

Woody received word from work today that his short term disability has been extended till May 6th. Originally he was supposed to go back to work this coming Monday (March 23). That would have been difficult for several reasons--he's still pretty weak when it comes to doing anything for any length of time--an 8 hour day would have been rough. Plus Monday (Mar. 23) he has to be at Vanderbilt to see Dr. Holt (8 wk. check after his shoulder surgery) and then he has an appointment at Vanderbilt on Tuesday (Mar. 24) with an oncology radiologist to make plans for his radiation treatments--so it would have been hard to be in two places at once--work and Vandy.

March Madness is entertaining Woody to a certain degree. And, today, for the first time in a couple of months, he picked up a book to read. He finds it rather hard to read "one handed," and also he just hasn't felt like reading for some time now. So reading and basketball have helped him to pass the time today. It was really good to see him with a book in his hand again.
