"VOGUE! VOGUE!"

You can admit it: You NEED MORE of me!
Well (MUCH to your chagrin), there's only so much of me to give!
I HAVE noticed that I can move my left body parts more.
Other than that, it's all G R A D U A L .

"Baby Steps"

In O.T. yesterday, I put a shirt on--over the shirt I was wearing--so quickly that my O.T. ("Occupational Therapist" to the layperson) called me "Speedy Gonzalez".

"No news is good news, unless it's Gary Guhnews!"

Do you see anyone named Gary around?
Same sh--, different day, here. I just get frustrated with all of the "shenanigans" (""Okay, the next person to say "shenanigans" gets pistol-whipped!""--'Super Troopers) that other clients cause. I ALMOST wish that I couldn't comprehend it. Like, I ALMOST wish that I "were" (hypothetical) retarded. Write that down!

CLARIFICATION

Many of the therapy aides work here as students, so they have to do "projects" as part of their externships. My "Physical Therapist" is her "project" about me. I pre-warned her, "Does it matter that my injuries are mainly physical?" She responded in the negative.

What I did in P.T.

I began the case study today. I stood up next to the walker, successfully, almost by myself, 3 times. This process was a matter of "Baby Steps" (FIGURATIVELY). I had a small amount of trouble, because, during one stand-up procedure my left wrist bent the wrong way. OUCH!

FURTHER PROGRESS

So, I just brushed MY OWN TEETH...MYSELF...in my shower chair, so I was unstable.
That's about it. But, I consider this a big deal. If you don't concur, then WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!

"There's no news, quite like good news, unless it's Gary Guh-nooz!"

I have a bit of a 'bad news sandwich'. ('good news'-'bad news'-'good news') DON'T get hungry! 1) I, successfully, showed the new P.T. student how I can lean on either elbow,while on the mat. 2) I urinated SO MUCH, in the urinal, this morning, that some overflowed onto my bed. I could have sung, "Let the RAIN fall down on me!" 3) Oh yeah! Did I mention that I beat the new P.T. student 4 games to love (0, in tennis jargon) at Connect 4? Then, I told her, "Hey! If you mess with the bull, you get the horns. I hope she, internally, said, "Lesson learned."

random

"Uh-oh, FART!"--'Rain Man'
No, seriously. I am done for the day, in honor of Labor Day. I did do some eating in Speech Therapy.
That's about it, for now. I'll keep you abreast. NOT LITERALLY! I am a NOT obese man!
Also, seriously...I did fart...TWICE. NO SHAME!

what I've been doing...

I keep beating 'Sudoku' on my computer, and these are some names I have used:
YEAH, I'm THAT good!
YAWN!
That just happened!

RANDOM

Grant asked me if I would prefer the same staff member or a random worker. My answer was PRO-RANDOM, so we could shoot the (proverbial) shit'. I changed my answer. The other day, I overheard a staff woman tell another staff member, "Well, I don't know how to do that." We're talking about my safety! Doesn't this place do any kind of screening/training?!?!
