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.

Stormy Monday!
A "bit" of tree damage next door! Our house is the cream colored house in the photo. The neighbors on the other side of us had a large limb come down across their driveway. A storm definitely blew in! And it blew hard for a little while and we got more rain. Our plants continue to be happy. We only had branches blow down. There was a bit of stick picking up in the front yard...haven't gone into the back yet. Our neighbor helped me pick up the sticks after he finished dragging the pieces of his large branch to the road. Anothrr neighbor helped them cut up their large limb...they needed it moved quickly as they had to pick up grandchildren from school. Woody still isn't feeling the best...hopefully heading in the right direction, though. He didn't go to prayer meeting. I went and haven't been back very long. Today is bandage changing day...that bandaging method has changed just a bit. They didn't give me all the supplies this time since they are signing off on that wound...so I will have to figure out what I have to substitute for what they have been using. They gave us new stuff to protect the skin around the wound, but not bandages...we still have one of the large bandaid-type bandages, but not the absorbent dressing to go under the bandage. Will go check out all the leftover dressings from other care for the best substitute. Jo and I had planned to go on a washing machine/dryer fact finding mission today, but the storm blew up just when we planned to go. We will try later in the week. The last time I washed, the spin cycle did work...sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
