Here's a picture of an imported nightmare! This is Kudzu...it was imported from Japan in 1911 to control erosion and restore nitrogen-depleted soil. BUT...in the warm, wet climate of the Southeast, Kudzu has run rampant...overgrowing forests, fields, buildings, etc. The picture on the right shows it taking over the hillside along the road...at times taking on some rather strange and eerie shapes.
Woody got up early, went to work, walked at lunch, worked some more, came home and has been relaxing...watching TV and reading this evening.
I called one of Woody's research nurses this morning to see what was going on with ALL the appointments that had been made. And...shock of all shocks...I didn't have to leave a message...the nurse I was trying to reach answered the phone herself! Each of the research nurses gave us their phone numbers to call if we needed to get in touch with them...but we hadn't needed to call before today. I couldn't believe the ease of getting in touch with her. Of course, I chose the wrong one of the research nurses, as she hadn't made the appointments, but she transferred me over to the correct nurse. There were extra appointments made...so the extras will be cancelled. She also was able to get Woody's next CT scan scheduled on the same day that Woody is to see Dr. Ginger Holt for his next checkup on his upper left arm that she removed the Melanoma tumor from back in January. It will be good to "kill two birds with one stone!" So...hopefully...just two days of appointments at Vanderbilt in December...and those separated by several weeks.
