(MONDAY) PRIORITIES?
...
-- I interviewed a [POTENTIAL] NEW Speech-Therapist.
... I really WANT SPEECH. I've LOOONG-PREFERRED NUMBERS to WORDS. But, my injurIES--to my VOCAL-cords--have kinda thrown MORE weight TOWARD verbal-/ literary-progress.
... TODAY's applicant was VERY NICE & RESPECTFUL ... but also very, VERY, VERY PRICEY!
(... ~74.86% of my MONTHLY-payroll for ONLY ONE of SEVEN potential employees)
$?!

(SATURDAY) [WHEW] What a RELIEF!
...
-- After my shower, as I LIE in BED, I'll bend my legS QUICK to put-ON my boxer-briefs.
... TODAY, my LEFT--surgically-REPAIRED--knee sent an ECHOING-CACOPHONY of bone-CREAKS & -CRACKS, as I yanked-UP 'mis pantalones'.
... THANKFULLY, 'twas JUST-NOISE & NO-PAIN ... to ME.
... To a TYPICAL-human being ... WITH WORKING pain-receptors, HE'd be in AGONY.
... To a WOMAN ... who'd ALREADY given-BIRTH, I'm SURE she, too, would ... JUST shake-OFF the "pain".

(THURSDAY) RELATE-to ME!
... NOTHING-AGAINST my mom!
It is JUST that ... in a FEW situations, my MAIN-Nurse BETTER-understands what I'm goin' through, because she was ALSO coma-stricken.
( : ( )
So, SHE--my Nurse--has that WONDROUS-emotion I COVET--
EMPATHY.
-- NEITHER my mom--a RETIRED Speech-pathologist--NOR my CURRENT Speech-Therapist were FAMILIAR with the word--that I VOICED:
penultimate.
(... I KNOW my SPEAKING was COGENT & CLEAR. So, the ONLY ... POSSIBLE ... explanation for THEIR ignorance is ...
the LATIN-roots.)
(... Mom, I'm TRYIN'-to give YOU the benefit of the doubt.)

(TUESDAY) GOTTA-make the BEST of a BAD-situation!
...
-- 'Tis the story of MY LIFE!
... At ~5:43 EST this morning, I was AWOKEN from my DEEP-slumber by a nagging-ITCH ... on my LEFT-ankle.
( : ( )
... RATHER-than buzzing-for my Caregiver's help, I elected-to ... reach ALL the way DOWN to my LEFT-ankle by ... bending-OVER to my weakER LEFT-side & bending my SURGICALLY-repaired LEFT-knee ... to DEcrease my angle of elevation to RELIEVE my ANNOYANCE.

(WEDNESDAY) "'NEW-shit' has come-to-LIGHT!"
... --Dude, 'The Big Lebowski'
... Well, it's not-EXACTLY "NEW-shit", 'cuz I WAS-informed ... ~8.92 YEARS ago. But, my Neuropsychotherapist just RE-informed me that
MY Traumatic Brain-Injury was rated--on a scale of 1 to 15 ... in REVERSE-order of SERIOUSNESS (So, 1 is the MOST-SERIOUS. While, 15 MAY-be JUST a major-headache.) ...
a 1!
... The FACT that I FORGOT such a MONUMENTAL-detail about MY SEMI-unbelievable recovery is a TESTAMENT to how UN-reliable MY memory IS.
( : ( )
-- On a more-PLEASANT note, my MENTAL-math SKILLZ are POSSIBLY BETTER-than EVER!
... 'Por ejemplo', I--a T.B.I.-victim--JUST-calculated that I've MADE--FIGURATIVELY--
17 dollars & ~88.49 cents per HOUR ... SINCE my JUDICIAL-ruling.
(... RELAX! I did-NOT--LITERALLY--actually COPY & PRINT PAPER-bills of American-currency!)
... I've GOTTA-CHERISH what I STILL-have!

...
-- I COMPLETED my two FAVORITE therapeutic-exercizes of MY-REHAB:
... Pushups (55)
& Biking (~22-minute ride)
... PLUS, I love feelin' the BURN in my quads, ... 'cuz THAT means that I was REALLY pedalin' HARD.
-- Evidently, my Neuropsychotherapist has been talking-to my EX-girlfriend, because I am to prepare-for some
hardcore role-play ... in two weeks.
(... snicker)

1 or 2 BIKE-trips per-week @ NeuroFit 360 + 2 to 4 BIKE-trips per-week @ HOME =
NOT-Lance Armstrong['s testicle(S)] = BALLZY
-- I am SEEING some FABULOUS muscular-development ... in BOTH biceps!
... MOSTLY THANKS-to my UPPER body-trainer, ... but SOME go-to NeuroFit 360!

(SUNDAY) I've gotta ... CHERISH ... the GOODS!
...
This afternoon I was SUPPOSED-to go to a local cinema to ENJOY a MOVIE.
... INSTEAD, per a buddy's request, I saw an earlIER-showing of 'Baywatch'.
(... GREAT film!)
... As I was invited by three friends--who ALL played BASKETBALL ... quite-WELL ... in high school, I wore a WONDERFUL shirt with a CLEVER backhanded-COMPLIMENT on it.
It read:
"WRESTLING is what MEN do during BOYS' BASKETBALL-season."
