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.

LIVE AND LEARN! Last night was an interesting experience that I hope we don't repeat too often! It was a long night. The whole dialysis treatment was s l o w! The way it was going was like our first night when the cassette malfunctioned. Woodsy didn't want to give up on it since it was working...sort of! So we waited it out. I kept straightening out tubing...anything to make "things" go faster. When we decided to end the treatment we found the tiniest kink up high on the tubing...it had twisted right under a blue connector close to the top of the line...where it kinked wasn't very noticeable...so it went unnoticed for a l o n g time! We did a few STAT drains after we discovered it and got the rest of the solution out! We will look closer from now on. I think that we might have found it sooner if we hadn't had that one malfunction and this acted jut like it. Oh, well...live and learn! Woody's treatment has begun for tonight. Hoping and praying that it will go MUCH better tonight. We will definitely be watching for small kinks in the tubing!!!
