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.

Happy Birthday, Woody!
Well, Woody is another year older! Last week there was a time when I wondered if we would be able to say that! I think he has had a pretty good day. Nathan and Melany came to the hospital to see him. multiple nurses and doctors wished him a happy birthday. It looks like he is getting closer to being released from Vanderbilt. The doctors and PT folk are recommending that he go to a rehab place to get stronger and learn to maneuver around better. He was more than willing to take this little side trip, if it will help himnget around better. Today, he said that maybe if he starts wearijgnthenbracenthat orthopedics has brought to him, that maybe, just maybe, he can start going to church, again. So that is motivation for him to work hard! He really is doing quite well considering where he was a week ago...awaiting surgery. They have upped his food to pureed. He got some pureed mixed berries that he really liked. Food seems to be tasting good to him after not eating for almost a whole week..even hospital food! He is quite weak, but regaining a little strength every day. Now, if his mind would clear, then everything would be just about right in our world! Melany is staying the night with Woody...spelling me. Nathan brought me home so ai can regroup, have a good night sleep, and do a few things around the house and run a few errands. Nathan will take me back tomorrow afternoon. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
