Woody walked upstairs today after getting the mail and said, "Here's a surprise." and handed me a letter. It was a letter with a Vanderbilt University Medical Center letterhead. The big surprise was in the body of the letter and in the signature. It was from Dr. Sosman informing Woody that he was leaving Vanderbilt to go to another hospital in Chicago. We definitely hadn't seen that coming. It looks like Woody will see him one more time before he leaves. Wondering what doc he has turned Woody over to...guess we will find that out in the near future. I'm glad that Woody is at this place in his melanoma care rather than in the middle of what he has gone through. Dr. Sosman has been with Woody through thick and thin and is the doctor who sent him on to National Instutes of Health. I'm sure that it will be a smooth transition, but it will seem strange not to see Dr. Sosman in visits after April. Woody did his usual Saturday morning errands...Credit Union, WalMart, and the library. I put away the groceries when he got home and also made a pot of chili this morning. This afternoon was pretty much taken up with pulling the Sunday School lesson together. I have it planned so they will be doing most of the talking...I hope! I'm still having periods of coughing...but I "think" fewer and fewer. Woody has done puzzles, read, and watched some March Madness on TV. It has been a chillier day today. We are getting freeze warnings not for tonight but for tomorrow night...just as we were getting used to those warmer temperatures.
