It Must Be A Slow News Day or Possibly An Election Year...

Hi there!  It's difficult not to be distracted from my objectives when such amazing things are happening all over  the world.  For example, some American "law maker" was skinny dipping in The Sea of Galilee!!  The crap you miss when your brain is injured.  The entire country runs amok!  I laughed my cancer-free head off about that! I am still managing without a wheelchair whenever I can and typing with two hands. Although you never know what that crazy left is going to do. Seriously, you don’t. If the brain is as plastic as it’s supposed to be and if I’m as stubborn as I think I am, then I’m supposed to be able to retrain my brain to do little, ordinary things.   If you are keeping score, I periodically see some of the doctors who worked on me. Next up? The neurosurgeon who operated on me in January of 2011. His perspective is unique and easy for me to understand; the tumor is way gone, he did a great job! The fact that the surgery left me in dire straights might be inconsequential or collateral damage, you know, the cost of doing business. I have a few questions for him but no high hopes or great expectations from Dr. Aliabadi. I’m sure he believes my surgery was a total success, from his standpoint, it was. He’s really, really, thorough if there is something tangible out there, he’s probably heard about it.

Plus, it's a rare opportunity for me to look at someone on the cutting edge of neurology and say without irony, "What the Hell, dude?"  Or, absent that, getting my husband to say it for me.

OK, here's another potential distraction that has got all kinds of peoples' underwear in all kinds of bunching:  Some poor Congressman I have never heard of said something unintentionally hilarious about "Legitimate  Rape",  I mean, where do you even start with that?  I feel sorry for that doofus!
