Many Hands...Much Work!

Melany and Alex arrived around 7:45 this morning and Nathan, Joy, Esther, Elijah, Isaac, and Joseph pulled up minutes later...all ready to work. Melany took charge of giving everyone a job and they all pitched in...mowing, weedeating, raking, weeding, leaf blowing, chain sawing, etc. The back yard was attacked first as it was very neglected. I tried to put in photos showing them working together and individually. I think that Alex is saying, "Please, Grammy, not another picture!" He is not fond of having his picture taken! But considering that he hadn't been at our house since 2019, as he hadnt seen our kitchen, I needed to get several! It has been well over a year since Woody and I have seen him. Everyone proved to be hard workers! Woody and I were very impressed with what was accomplished this morning. Joy had to be at work at noon, so I got lunch ready a little after 11 and had Nathan and his crew eat first so they could be on their way so Joy wouldn't be late. Most ate on the front porch and a couple ate inside. I made oatmeal cookies this morning for their dessert and I thini that they were the most appreciated! Melany and Alex did a lttle more work after lunch, but were soon on their way home. The afternoon seemed to be filled with telephone calls...well, I did start out the morning making a call to Fresenius to get Woody's next dialysis appointment set up...Woody's peritoneal dialysis nurse took a message as the scheduler wasn't in yet. So then it was a waiting game tillnshe called back. But before she called back Woody's PD nurse called him saying that Dr. O, Woody's nephrologist aka kidney doctor, thought that Woody should consider having the tear in his peritoneum fixed and then go back on peritoneal dialysis. He wanted to set up annappointment for Woody to see a surgeon. woody agreed to see the surgeon and he has that appointment next week. Woody says that he can tell how hard hemodialysis is on the body. He feels totally zapped/drained when he is through with Hemo...and that is not a feeling that he has when he is finished with Peritoneal dialysis...so he thinks that he would like to go back on it, if it is possible. So we will see what the surgeon tells him next week. This is the surgeon who put in the peritoneal catheter last July. We finally got a call from the hemodialysis scheduler and they have him scheduled for his next treatment on Thursday. We were so glad that it didnt conflict with his Keytruda treatent tomorrow. I guess I will end tonight's blog by saying..."If it isn't one thing, then it is another!" The day has worn me out! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
