At this time a week ago, Woody was in the recovery room at Vanderbilt...probably giving the nurses a scare. Some of his blood work came back showing that he was having a problem--I'm guessing by what they were doing when I got to the recovery room, that it showed that he was having trouble with his heart. They were ordering potassium and an EKG, etc. But all the while they kept saying that he couldn't be having a problem by looking at his coloring and watching all the little lines on the monitor (the tech who was to do the EKG came in and looked at the monitor and just shook his head and said that Woody didn't need an EKG)...but they had to follow protocol and had to start giving him potassium and do an EKG. At a point a nurse came in and said that they were going to have to take another sample of blood, this time from his arm rather than from his IV lines. They were guessing that the sample that had been taken from his IV line had gotten saline in it. And, that must have been the case, as the second sample came back fine. But he got to stay a bit longer in recovery than he would have without this little scare! Life is never dull!
Anyway, today, a week after surgery, Woody completed our income tax forms, walked to the Post Office to mail them, and stopped along the way to get a hair cut. After he got home he ate a good lunch, took a shower, washed his hair and THEN he slept most of the rest of the afternoon! What a difference a week makes!
WOW! After seeing those picturs, that's all I've got...WOW!
