If Only We Could Have Taken to the Air...

 If we could have taken to the air on our trip to Nashville this morning, we could have enjoyed a closer encounter with some lovely clouds...the rain had moved on leaving some very pretty low hanging clouds.  If we could have taken to the air, we could have joined these birds on the wires...there were probably a hundred of them all perched along these lines..all (that I could see) facing the same way.  I think that they were getting warm plus facing away from the wind that was starting to pick up.It was a very breezy day...by the time we got out of Vanderbilt it was really whipping around...really making
the wind chill factor be felt.  If we could have taken to the air, we could have landed on top of Vanderbilt as this Life Flight did as we were driving  up to the front of the cancer clinic.  If we could have  taken to the air, we could have avoided the gridlock that we found on both the interstates we traveled on this morning.  If we could have taken to the air, we wouldn't have been twenty minutes late for Woody's appointment even though we gave ourselves almost thirty extra minutes.  We are so thankful that we don't have to face such traffic on a daily basis.  I don't see how anyone can get to work or anywhere on time in big cities.  Everything got underway in a timely fashion...though there was no rush about anything.  It took almost an hour for Woody's new drug to get to the infusion clinic.  The infusion only took thirty minutes plus some time to flush the line with saline solution.  There was no waiting around to check his blood pressure this time so once he was unhooked from the IV, we were out of there.  We were walking out by 10:30.  It took a few minutes for our car to come.  That is when we experienced the wind for the first time today.  It was really nippy.  It felt good to get into the car.  We did stop and have lunch on the way home...at our favorite stopping place of the moment...Steak 'n Shake.  Then we trucked on home.  After we got home, we headed next door to check to see how Isaac was doing.  It is as if nothing had happened to him...no soreness or anything.  Today was supposed to be Joy's long time with me so I arranged to sweep her away for her time this afternoon.  Her next project is going to be an apron so we went to JoAnn's and she got to pick out her fabric.  After she and I got back, Elijah and Isaac came over for a while.  At this point Woody feels no different than he did prior to taking this highfalutin medicine.  He has had his first infusion and this time I can't say how many to go as the number is dependent on how his body responds to the infusions.  He will be scanned after he has had four infusions...so in twelve weeks, as he has these infusions every three weeks.
