Larry's Update - 4/24/09

I took Larry out to dinner last night. It was the first time he's been out since the Monday after Easter. It was good for him. I took him to a place with not very much activity so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed. He really got a kick out of watching the cars disappear as they drove by before they were out of his vision site. It must be strange to have partial vision. Imagine scooping up a spoonful of something and bringing it up to your mouth and it all of a sudden appearing before your eyes. No handle, or hand for that matter. Just your spoon tip. Strange, huh?

Larry has been practicing excercises to help his brain think. He also checked with his doctor and switched his medicines so that he takes the one that makes him so drowsy at night instead of during the day. I think yesterday was the first day he didn't take a nap during the day.

I did not see as much clarity with Larry today. This past weekend was much better. He spends his days reading, researching the internet, tinkering on the piano and singing. Most of you don't know he has a beautiful tenor voice. Now that he is relaxed, it sounds really good.
