I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Getting There
We are getting closer to how "things" were prior to December 24th (our family Christmas). Today the last bit of wrapping and last gifts were put away (or thrown away (paper not gifts thrown away!)) that had graced chairs, floor, etc. in the living room. The flattened cardboard boxes found their way to the curb and were picked up by the recycle truck this morning. Tonight's photo shows that I can once again sit and enjoy a cup of tea in front of the Christmas tree. Woody did his usual Wednesday Krogering. I guess it is time that I get back in the kitchen and cook as our leftovers are dwindling. Woody also walked four miles today. So we seem to be settling back into a more normal routine. And, that routine was confirmed a few minutes ago as we got our reminder call for Woody's next week Vanderbilt appointments. He will have labs, see Dr. Sosman's nurse practioner, and perhaps have his last Keytruda infusion. Three weeks after those appointments he is scheduled for another PET scan and, if all is the same or better when compared to the last scan, his Keytruda infusions will stop. Then he will have scans every twelve weeks to make sure that "everything" is staying the same. Twelve weeks between visits is sounding mighty good! Three weeks between visits comes around pretty quickly! I did manage to finish sorting pictures...that means that this year's photos are all sorted...unless I take more between now and tomorrow at midnight!
