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.

Hot, Hot, and Hotter!
Another good day to stay inside as much as possible! We ony had to get out a little before noon...pretty hot then! Woody had his wound care appointment at noon. We were in and out quickly, but did get a suggestion that Woody had been wanting for a long time. The wound care doctor suggested a knee brace...a hinged, adjustable knee brace. She showed me what to order from Amazon. And, as soon as we got home, I placed the order. We are to bring it next week and she will adjust it to his leg. This will allow him to bend his knee, but will limit side to side movement to protect his leg where it is so weak due to hardware failure. So...obviously...he did not get dismissed from wound care this week. Also the nurse at wound care said that she would include wording in her orders to home health that show that he needs to continue with home health. I'm just glad that professionals will continue to check his wounds twice a week. But wounds were status quo today. Nathan stopped by this afternoon. He had a little sewing project he needed to do. Then he did a couple of "sonny-do" jobs. Thank you, Nathan! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Keep cool!
