Free As A Bird?

Well, Woody feels like he may feel free as a bird tomorrow.  He has no home health nurse coming.  He has not PT person coming tomorrow.  And, this afternoon, he got word that he doesn't have an antibiotic infusion tomorrow.  He was told that he was to just have the infusions every other day until they tell him otherwise after the next blood draw next week.  So he can spread his wings and fly—well as far as he can go with his walker!  But at least tomorrow can be a day for him to choose what he wants to do and when he wants to do it...nothing scheduled for him!

This every other day will work out well for us.  As it means that he doesn't have an infusion on Sunday (hard for us to get the med out of the fridge 2 hours prior to infusion on Sunday) and also won't have one on Tuesday, which is the day we spend a good part of the day at Vanderbilt.  I had been dreading trying to figure out how we would get an infusion in amongst all the appointments that actually were happening at his usual infusion time.  Not having one on Tuesday is definitely going to help!  It looks like things continue to work out the best for Woody!

It frees me up too so I am going to spread my wings and fly off with friends to have lunch.

Woody has another freedom today.  His PT person brought little ski-like attachments to put on the non-wheel legs of his walker.  Finally he can just glide his walker along when he is walking.  He can walk almost normally with the walker now.  And, I am freed up from hearing the awful sound it was making on the kitchen floor!

This afternoon after Woody's infusion, I headed off to work in the church library.  We changed our work day to Thursday.  We have done it on Wednesday for so many years, that a change of day may take some getting used to!  I probably will think that tomorrow is Thursday!  We got quite a lot done on getting underway with the first steps of processing a new book order.  And, got at least one book ready to check out.  One of our blog readers has been waiting a long time for it to be ready!  (Bill C., it is waiting for you on the check-out counter next to the computer.)
