I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for almost 15 years...sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. My husband was in remission with his Melanoma but new melanoma diagnosis 3/2021 so started back on Keytruda. 8/2020 began home Peritoneal Dialysis. 7/2022 began training for home hemodialysis…never a dull moment! Come join us in our daily routine...sometimes humdrum...sometimes sit on the edge of your seat!

Welcome, September!
It doesn't seem possible that September is here...where has the year gone!?!?!? It is obvious that the days are getting shorter...dark around 7pm and still dark around 6am. It has been a fairly busy day...just having an appointment makes it a busy day. Today's appointment was mid day...good and bad...cuts the day right in half! But then we don't have to be up and out so early as dialysis days. Today's appointment was fairly fast...didn't have to wait in the waiting room long and then the doctor came in fairly quickly. She got the adjustable knee brace adjusted and on Woody's leg pretty quickly...hoping that we can get it on and off as easily. She is cutting us back to every other week for going to see her...a good thing...means that Woody is doing fairly well. She was comfortable with me doing the wound care and just coming to see them every so often. Hope that I can live up to their expectations! So we are gradually, at the moment, moving away from so many weekly appointments...no home health nurse, going for wound care every other week, and three times a week for dialysis...perhaps some breathing room! Woody does feel that his leg is more secure in the brace. So far we haven't taken it off and put it back on. I spent some of the down time prior to today's appointment working on this Sunday's Sunday School lesson. It's on paper...probably needs some paring down...but something is on paper. Woody completed his crossword puzzles and read and had the TV on in the background. We came home from the appointment and had lunch...then I was ready for a rest! I've talked to Cheryl and Melany on the phone...I watered the gardens while I talked to Melany. We have had supper and I think both of us are winding down from our day. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
