Not a bad weekend!

Hi there!

In case you didn't get the hint from the title, Dad had a good weekend! On Friday, his problematic bed was replaced with a new therapeutic bed that also moves him around and helps with protecting the integrity of his skin. When you look at him, Dad looks like he's sitting in a lounge chair that you would expect to see in a Star Trek movie and he's preparing for take off (hehe). But the bed is working proper (so far... knock on wood), which is more than what I can say for the last bed.

Dad's not moving any new body parts, but he is trying. His level of frustration seems to be growing, but that's to be expected. I mean, the man hasn't been able to move much of anything for the past 90+ days. However, to have made it this far and this long, I think he's handled things beyond anything that I could ever deal with.

Everything considered, Dad's spirits are still good, even after our Dolphins lost their game to the Jets last night. Hopefully, those bad feelings will be all better again after the Blue Tornados beat the Bulldogs this weekend in our back home, high school rivalary game of the year. Dad always asks me two things when I go to visit him on the weekends... 1) Where's Anna Leigh and April, and 2) How did Richlands' football team do Friday night? So for Dad, let's all pull for the Blue Tornados this weekend.

OK... that's all for now. Take care and we'll post something again soon.

Team Jerry all the way!!!
