Well, one of Woody's appointments for this week is behind us. The travel time took up most of our time away today. We left the house around 11:15 and headed Murfreesboro way. He signed in for his appointment at 12:25 and we were back in the car heading home by 12:45...which was five minutes before the scheduled time for his appointment for his CT scan. His is a quick scan as he can't have contrast due to being on dialysis. We were home by a little before 2:00. So most of the time was away today was taken up driving in the car. We were both ready to rest when we got home. Woody did drive both to and from the appointment today. He has appointments every day through Saturday, but all of them are in Tullahoma...so at ir is easy to get to and from the rest of the appointments this week...no interstate driving1 There still hasn't been any communication with the hospital telling us what time he is to be at the hospital on Thursday. Tomorrow's appointment is four hours on dialysis...so I will be home to receive any calls from the hospital. Wednesday he will be at TN Oncology for approximately 2 hours. I figure that I am going with him so I can be an extra pair of ears to hear what his oncologist has to say about today's scan. Then I will sit in the waiting room while he has his Keytruda treatment. If at that point I haven't heard from the hospital, I will walk over to his surgeon's office which is right next door and see if they know anything. A lot of times these days you don't hear what time your surgery is till the day before. That is not exactly to my liking/planning/scheduling but will have to take how and when we get told! Tomorrow Woody should find out what time his rescheduled hemodialysis appointment will be on Friday (this is the appointment that will take the place of his scheduled dialysis on Thursday that he can't have because of his surgery). I'm curious if he will have back to back dialysis (Friday and then Saturday or if he will be put into a Monday, Wednesday, Friday rotation). Hopefully these hemodialysis appointments will soon not enter into our appointment scheduling...IF his surgery is successful on Thursday. I don't know how soon he will be able to get back on peritoneal dialysis after this surgery. I will be sure to ask the doctor on Thursday if he doesn't give me that information. This is the surgeon who I taught at Montessori...I'm who intorduced him to reading skills...always fun to see and interact with my students so many years and see them in a successful career! Woody came home and rested and has now gone to Monday night Furnace Room prayer meeting. The ramp is really helpful in him getting to the car from the house and vice versa...definitely a blessing that we were handed by some very thoughtful and skilled men in our church. We can't thank them enough! Nathan stopped by a little while ago to pick up Esther's birthday gift. Her 14th birthday is tomorrow. Nathan is out of quarentine as of today and none of the rest of the family ever had any symptoms. This is the first time that I have seen him in over a month...since they went to Texas because he was in quarantine once they got back. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
