Appointments Accomplished

We managed to get away from the house a little before nine this morning for Woody's 9:15 appointment at TN Oncology. I got him signed in and situated in their waiting room and then headed toward the Credit Union and then to Kroger. It was a "small" grocery shopping spree...is there any such thing these days?!? I had time to put them away before I got the call to pick up Woody. This appointment almost always works out to be two hours. We were back home a little before noon. Just time enough to have some lunch before his telemed appointment with Dr. Allos, his infectious disease doctor. Before that came through, Nathan, Kathy, Esther, Elijah, Isaac, and Joseph showed up to work in the yard. They raked and mowed in our back yard. That gave them a workout! Thankful for willing hands from them! The telemed apointment went very smoothly...right on time, the doctor could see and hear Woody and Woody could see and hear the doctor. She asked a few questions and asked to see his leg wound. I managed without too much difficulty to get that into the picture so she could see. She was quite pleased with how it looks. She also said that his labs were the best she had about ever seen from him. I had his white blood count from today's labs so was able to tell her very current lab and that number was excellent showing that he isn't fighting infection at the moment. She was pleased and wants to follow-up in three months with another telemed. And, that was it...quick, quick...no travel time was really nice! We are thankful for telemed appointments when appropriate! One good thing that came out of Covid = telemed appts! We visited with our yard crew for a few minutes before they headed off for home. We found out that both Isaac and Joseph had two hits in their game last night. We found out a little more about Elijah's games and also about his upcoming Babe Ruth season. We're hoping with longer daylight times and warmer temps that maybe we will get a couple of games in, at least. Elijah also has tryouts for the Winchester High School team coming up in July. Busy ball times! Well, tomorrow is another early dialysis day...haven't recovered since yesterday's! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
