Returning to "Normal"

We have spent most of the day trying to return to "normal"...whatever that is! Woody spent quite a bit of time trying to set up appointments and/or returning calls that needed to be attended to due to us being away. He managed to get a doctor's appointment for this afternoon and then a TVA reinspection set up (they didn't come prepared to test our heat pumps) and tried to reach my insurance company trying to get things straightened out with them about my individual policy, and tried to get in touch with the roofing company. He was successful with his doctor and TVA...but the other two we are waiting for them to return our calls. I had a "normal" Monday school day...Elijah, Esther, Joy (for reading and sewing), and Graham for sewing. Woody and I had lunch and then he headed off to McMinnville to see his personal care physician...to get labs done to check his creatinine levels and also to get his blood pressure med changed. I stayed home and worked on getting unpacked...as in doing several loads of wash. And, I also spent time planning for a Valentine art lesson for tomorrow. Woody came home from the doctor and went on a walk around the block. I emailed Woody's NIH Fellow to tell her what blood pressure med the doctor wanted to put him on if his creatinine levels are ok. Dr. Harlow thought that his creatinine levels were raised due to the combination of his blood pressure med that she had prescribed and the NSAID that the urologist prescribed. I think that there are too many docs handling "things!" That is the reason that we were so glad that NIH ended up having to handle several of his problems. Woody is feeling so much better. He definitely seems to be returning to "normal." He is now at Monday night prayer meeting at church. After he gets home, he will be taking Graham to his basketball practice. So it looks like things are in "full swing" around here!
