Woody had his first Zometa infusion this morning. We got up early and headed out into the cold for Murfreesboro. Woody drove for the first time since his surgery. He said that the infusion wasn't bad. It took about 30 minutes. They told him that he wouldn't realize that he had had the treatment till tomorrow. Tomorrow he is going to ache like he has the flu. What this treatment does is take calcium from the blood and then puts that calcium into his bones. This will make his bones ache--thus the achy flu-like feeling.
He will be having these infusions about once a month and he found out that in the future he should be able to have this done in Tullahoma which will save us a 90 mile round trip.
After we got home, we had lunch and then we both napped a bit this afternoon.
