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.

State of Confusion!
We really don't know much more than we did yesterday. We're in limbo about a rehab. The one that we thought that we could get that Melany recommended has not returned the case worker's call. Another facility was suggested. Melany and Wade took a quick trip to check it out. It is ok...but would not be Melany's top choice. Maybe we will have to take second best...though I hate too. One of the hangbacks is that it is a semi-private room. I think that Woody is rethinking rehab and would just like to go home. I would like that, too, but at this point he can't get up off the bed to move to a chair by himself. I think that he needs a little skill learning before he heads home. At this point the dialysis hasn't been coordinated, either. The case worker will get back with us in the morning...or whenever...Vanderbilt time. Speaking of Vanderbilt time, dialysis still hasn't shown up for his treatment today. He has given up and has gone to sleep! He has had PT...they only got him out of bed and into a chair. He has had orthopedics come and work on his brace...but it still hurts him so we took it off a few minutes ago. We were told by two different teams on the dialysis team that Woody would have dialysis today....well there are a few more hours in this day...we will see. If they don't get it started soon it won't finish today! The surgeons are pleased with his progress and notice that his state of confusion is lessoning...and it is...but he still isn't totally himself. Hopefully tomorrow there will be some decisions made and we will know the next step. To be continued. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
