Nice Visit But Very Different

We had a nice visit with Melany today, but it was very different to wear masks the whole time except when we were eating lunch. Woody stayed pretty isolated from us. He chose to eat at his TV tray and Melany and I ate in the dining room. We all thought that was for the best. Melany is a teacher so is exposed to all kinds of germs. Melany is not just a teacher in a classroom...she is an art teacher and she sees many classrooms of students in a day/week. So she ends being exposed to a lot more than a teacher who just has her one classroom of children. Melany brought a cute needlepoint Christmas stocking front that I will be completing into a stocking with a back and lining...so Santa can put some presents in it! Woody has watched a lot of football today. Now he is watching the World Series. He enjoys watching sports on the weekends during his dialysis treatments. Melany thought that his color was better than it was the last time she saw him...that's good. He is almost to the last part of the third cycle of today's treatment. He has just a couple of minutes left of the dwell time and next is the drain time. Then "all" he has left is one fill, one dwell, and one drain time left. Woody says that by the fourth cycle of a treatment it starts to get old! I know even to me that the first cycles seem to go more quickly than the last. I guess towards the end we are both ready for them to be over and ready to get him disconnected! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
