Today has been rather a busy day for us...or at least so it seems to me at this point in the day! Woody started out the day showering and washing his hair...not an easy task...plus we have been given no instructions about showering with his new dialysis line. I knew that it had to be covered and we had some coverings that were meant for the shower that he had gotten at the time of one of his other surgeries. It really wasn't the right shape...too big actually...but we made it work and managed to keep that place dry. Showering is no longer an easy task for him. Today's dialysis was scheduled for 1:45, but a little after 12 we got a call that they had a cancellation and that there was an empty chair for him. He quickly ate a bite of lunch and then headed their way. He got home a little before 5pm...not a full dialysis time. The way they handled it was that they left his dialysis going while they disconnected all the other patients and then did his last...so he came close to 4 hours. I'm sure that they were ready to get away since it is a holiday! Once home he rested for a little while and then had a shake before he headed off to the Monday Night Furnace Room Prayer Meeting. He sort of figured that he would be the only one who came, but since they often do meet on holidays he needed to go just in case. Today was the end of a church-wide family retreat so there was even more of a reason that probably no one else would come...and he was right...he was the only one. So he is home and ensconsed in his recliner. He said that he wasn't quite as zapped of energy today after his dialysis treatment. He doesn't have an appointment for Wednesday as the scheduler at the dialysis center had the day off so we have to call tomorrow to set up a time. The problem that I see for Wednesday is that he has his Keytruda infusion that day also and it has been on the calendar for a month for 1pm. Now to see if these appointments can both be fitted into one day...we will see. Tomorrow Melany is coming back to do more in the gardens and this time she is bringing Alex, our oldest grandson, the one who is getting married in three weeks. He has the day off and Melany has talked him into coming and doing some mowing and weedeating, etc. while she works on flower beds. We have enlisted Nathan and some of our farmer grandchildren to come help out for a while. Nathan is bringing his chainsaw, etc. I have been cooking this afternoon and evening so we can attempt to feed the yard workers! I have spaghetti sauce simmering and sourdough rolls just came out of the oven. I'm thinking about making some cookies...but that will have to happen tomorrow...my cooking energy has gotten up and left! And, I still have the kitchen to clean up. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
