[GreenKeys] Update for Jerry's Friends

[Jerry Lockett]

Hi all,

Jerry is still making progress (baby steps). The neurologist was in this
afternoon, he usually comes in the morning when Jerry is sleeping) Jerry
answered his questions without hesitation, including his age and he
identified me as his wife.  He consistently know his full name and his
birthdate.  Last night a pastor from Canyon Hills came be (she is a friend
of my daughter).  He was snoring when she got there and later in the visit
she told him she thought Yogi Bear was in the room, she got a pretty big
smile for that one.

I have visited several skilled nursing facilities , as I told a friend early
today, there isn't much "feel good" in most of those places.  Rosewood looks
promising, the admissions coordinator is coming to visit Jerry and I next
week.  He doesn't meet the  criteria at some of the facilities for accepting
patients.  He has a feeding tube which makes him ineligible for places like
Glenwood.

I know your visits mean a lot to him and they also provide stimulus that I
am not able to do.  Those 30 + years of friendship make for a lot of great
memories.

Thank you all for being around for me to "talk" about our small triumphs.
I'll try not to have too many pity parties, but no promises!

Carole
