Amazing Grace

Yesterday was another good day, I hope the trend continues.

Jerry wanted to let his hair grow out and it had gotten quite long and was completely unmanageable. He stuck it out as long as possible but couldn't take it anymore, because the back of his head is always resting on something and it made his head itchy. We got ready early and took Jerry to get a hair cut.



After Jerry's hair cut we went to Dominican Rehab so Jerry could check it out. Carl the wheelchair guy was doing a wheelchair clinic there so we had an opportunity to meet with him briefly to discuss the chair issues. From there it was off to Taquaria Maranoes (I'm sure that's not spelled right :-0) to get a burrito for lunch, Jerry loves that place. Next it was a rush to the doctor appointment. The appointment went well, Jerry is going to ween off the Neurontin, it should take about six weeks to get him off of it.

Jerry had a case of insomnia last night, maybe it was taking a new med or maybe it was a caffeinated beverage in the evening or maybe both, so no soda past 5:00 pm from here on out. Jerry did not get to sleep until about 4:30 this morning so I'm letting him sleep in, I plan on waking him at 11:30. If you've been following the blog you know, sleeping that late throws the whole day off. It's a good thing I've always been a flexible person, it makes it a little easier to go with the flow when things don't go as planned.

A friend sent the below video An amazing rendition of Amazing Grace, performed in the coliseum in Rome, I thought it was beautiful, if it's your cup of tea enjoy....

Hey MacCallisters,
Dennis you are a great prep cook, thanks for the help with the early St. Patricks Day feast.
I know you guys are all up getting ready for the drive to SCI-FIT.
Just a quick prayer to thank Jesus for your family, and mine.
Lord bless the MacCallisters today as they go about their busy schedule. Give Jerry all the strength he needs to work out today and give him a day free of pain and nausea. Safe travel on the wet roads and happy hearts.
Peace and Love coming your way.
