Zachary and I took t's guitar to him this evening. Amazing, he hasn't lost his ability to play. Immediately, he started tuning it. After tuning it, Zachary refreshed Bob's memory on "Wipe Out". T got the guitar back and played "Wipe Out" without any hesitation! He played more than Zachary. Zachary forgot the middle. Bob didn't.
Tomorrow, Wanda, the church choir director, is bringing the choir to the VA for Wednesday night choir practice. The whole facility is buzzing. The nurses are getting Bob "warmed" up for singing. They turn on the CD player and have him sing to them.
Cognitive therapy was short tonight. The guitar playing was enough. We named farm animals also. Recall was not good. Bob made animal sounds. He did know a cat sound or bird sounds (duck and chick).
One day at a time...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY FROM Joel Osteen
"Heavenly Father, I know what you've put on the inside of me. By faith I see the dreams you've given me coming to pass, no matter what my circumstances are. I am full of Your power and I'm ready to become everything you created me to be. In Jesus' Name. Amen"
