…
Although 'tis EASY & RELAXING to just
SIT/"LIE" (NOT "lay") here,
a "sedentary-lifestyle" just COMPLETELY "goes AGAINST my grain".
(… It "rubs me the WRONG way".)
("'KUDOS'" to … ME for … ACCURATELY using TWO wood-related metaphors … in SUCCESSION!)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
Although I'm not NEARLY as ACTIVE as I once WAS,
(wrestling, martial arts, football, soccer, basketball, swimming, ping pong, MORNING-runs)
I try … MY BEST … to, AGAIN, be ATHLETICALLY-"gifted".
(FOUR LONG workouts per week, martial arts-TEACHING, swimming, beer-pong, MORNING-"WALKS")

Thus, I CONSTANTLY "WORK" to ACHIEVE my ULTIMATE-GOALS of
WALKING, TALKING, EATING & DRINKING.
(… And, I should include SWIMMING.)

…
REVISION to a PREVIOUS blog-post:
My writing may have IMPLIED that I am/was REALLY HAPPY.
But, in ACTUALITY, I'm ONLY 'asi-asi'/'s(small, vertical line UNDERNEATH)uley-buley'.
(… Those were Spanish AND Turkish for 'so-so'.)
(… MOST of my sports-teams are STILL LOSING.)
(AUDIBLE sigh)
"On a lighter/BETTER note", MY PERSONAL-, PHYSICAL-"recovery" is DEFINITELY,
REALLY … IMPROVING!
YAY!

AH, "the tables/tides have TURNED"!
…
While I was working-out at my gym on FRIDAY, the--USUALLY very UNDERSTANDING, NICE & BRIGHT--owner VERY RUDELY, STERNLY & STUPIDLY YELLED at ME
to "STOP" and "CHILL OUT", while I SEMI-loudly VOICED my FRUSTRATION with/about my UN-"cooperating" RIGHT hand.
(… I've TOLD HIM about my BOTCHED forearm-surgery AT LEAST SIX TIMES before, so I just FIGURED he's an IDIOT.)
(… He OWNS a SUCCESSFUL business, so he caN'T be THAT forgetful!)
(… Hence my "JUMP" to HIS IDIOCY)
However, TODAY--apparently, he "saw the ERROR of his ways". He was MUCH niceR, even CORDIAL, so my LEG-workout went MUCH smoothER!
(… So, I was able to FOCUS/CONCENTRATE more on my "exercises".)
________________________________________________________________________________
Due to my "HIGH degree of", UN-intentionally IRRITATING IM-patience, I USUALLY "travel" around corners in my home--in my MOTORIZED wheelchair at "level-2" … out of "5". But, once in awhile, my SPEEDY "motor-wheeling" causes me to "leave VISIBLE streakMARKS" on the walls of MY HOUSE. Ergo, TODAY I felt I should TRY to make my inner-home more "AESTHETICALLY-APPEALING ". Thus, I SLOWED my "house-trekking" to "SPEED-1" … with "FLAWLESS success"!
________________________________________________________________________________
This morning I inquired my MAIN-nurse about her previous DECLARATION that my STOMACH-protruding "G-/peg-tube" is PERMANENT.
(… My HOPES, MOTIVATION & OPTIMISM were "SHOT", when she FIRST told me the LONGEVITY of said "TUBE".)
THIS TIME she commented, "With the growing IMPROVEMENT in SCIENCE & MEDICINE … AND YOUR (MY) CONSTANT PROGRESS with (MY) MOVEMENT & HEALTH, then it's certainly NOT NECESSARILY 'permanent'."
(Cue the SIGH of RELIEF.)
MORAL
My "T.B.I." does "NOT NECESSARILY" hinder ALL aspects of my "BRILLIANCE".
((Outsider--to ME: "I guess I underestimated you."
MY reply: "Yeah, well, maybe next time, you will … ESTIMATE me."

… I've GOTTA "bounce back"/RECOVER!
…
Yes, yesterday was a
"Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day"(book by Judith Viorst).
But, I "SACKED-it-UP" & had a much BETTER day TODAY!
It certainly HELPED that I went to the movies with two high school buddies to see the HILARIOUS film 'Dumb & Dumber Too'!

'Tis a sad, SAD day.
…
I awoke this morning, to see--upon "THE Facebook"--that a DEAR friend from my WONDERFUL days in high school recently "PASSED".
( : ( )
I have NO shame/embarrassment/shyness in ADMITTING that SHE was the EPITOME/"PEAK" of my "'high school'-CRUSHES"!
I'm very, VERY SAD!
However, my "T.B.I." does NOT allow me to CRY … even though I WANNA!
(… It's a PSYCHOLOGICAL issue.)
This AWFUL incident is MUCH LIKE the TERRIBLY CATASTROPHIC incident of my father's RECENT death … in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT kind of AFFECTION & REGRET!
__________________________________________________________________________
…
As if by a sense of KARMA, I had one of my WORST days in RECENT memory!
(… "SURE, I believe in 'karma'! 'Karma' is a WORD … like 'LOVE'!"
(--'The Matrix Revolutions')
FIRST, my nurse told me that I'll have this (DAMN, FRICKIN') "peg-/feeding-tube" sticking out of my stomach "FOR-EH-VER!"(--Squints, 'The Sandlot')
OR, I can go to the hospital AT LEAST twice a week (like what SHE does) for I.V.-treatments of nutrients & vitamins.
WHAT?!
(… So, there's NOT even a CHANCE of my "RIGHTING myself"?! Well then, THAT's YET ANOTHER "piece of medical BULLSHIT" I'll just HAFTA DIS-prove!)
__________________________________________________________________________
…
Next, I STUMBLED--three different times--as I "WALKED" to my toilet to urinate.
__________________________________________________________________________
…
Later, it was VERY UN-orthodox/STRANGE for the OWNER of my GREAT gym to be so STUPID, INCONSIDERATE and IMPATIENT!
I was having DELAYS as I TRIED to grasp a HORIZONTAL-bar to grasp for my SQUATS & KNEELING.
(… I was SO UPSET with the owner's UN-characteristic RUDE-ness that I--sarcastically but ANGRILY--asked my staff-guy: "HOW MANY TIMES do I HAFTA TELL people about my BOTCHED forearm-surgery?! Is he STUPID or just REALLY FORGETFUL?!)
__________________________________________________________________________
NONETHELESS, I MUST "carry ON" & CONTINUE my PRODUCTIVE "REHABILITATION"!

(I'm talking to MYSELF in CONFRONTATIONAL/AGGRESSIVE slang:)
…
"C'MON, A.J.! (I SHOVE myself in the chest.)
DO sumthin'. WHAT?!"
Along a wall in my FABULOUS gym--"NeuroFit 360", is the
message:
"FAITH -- PERSEVERANCE -- RESULTS"
_____________________________________________________
Faith is daring to put your dream to the test. It is better to
try to do SOMETHING and FAIL, than it is to try to do
NOTHING and SUCCEED.
____________________________________________________
JUST 'cuz I'm--TEMPORARILY--in a wheelchair does NOT
mean I should--or even, CAN--"REST on my laurels". I
SHOULD "beeeeee MYSELF"--who/which is a "SOCIAL-
butterfly".
Yes, I HOST MANY "par-TAYS". But, that's only Part 1.
There are MULTIPLE "steps" in my SOCIAL-recovery.
SSSOON, I'll be MORE COMFORTABLE "venturing-out" into
the (EMBARRASSINGLY IGNORANT) "OUTSIDE-world".
____________________________________________________

CONFIDENCE--in MYSELF & MY abilities--is
ESSENTIAL/NECESSARY for any/ALL POSITIVE
development during my REHAB.

JEEZ! WHAT an "UP-n-DOWN" day"!
…
First, I slept VERY WELL last night!
( : ) )
Then, my "caregiver" told me that "Terminix" was coming to "SPRAY", b/c SOMEONE brought "BED-BUGS" into MY house!
( : ( )
LUCKILY, I have not witnessed ANY such VERMIN!
( : ) )
So, THAT means that ONE of my employees is "SLEEPING … on the job".
( : ( )
He said my mom scheduled the appointment.
(… YAY, Mom! Thanks for the HELP!)
( : ) )
My mother--RANDOMLY--scheduled the "spray-job" for in the MORNING, while I'm HOME.
Yet, she KNEW "GOOD & WELL" I would be REQUIRED to NOT be "in MY HOUSE" for ANY/ALL of the FOUR-HOUR spray!
( : ( )
I told my "caregiver" to CALL the company to POSTPONE said "spray" to a DAY/TIME I'd be GONE.
( : ) )
The "Terminix"-worker DECLINED my request.
(WTF?!)
( : ( )
My "caregiver" convinced the "Terminix"-ASSHOLE to come this afternoon, WHILE I'm at the gym. AND, I must ONLY be GONE for TWO hours … NOT FOUR!
( : ) )
…
After ONLY hearing of my SUPPOSED bug-PROBLEM, my GOATEE started REALLY itching!
(… I wonder if it's "BEARD-lice".)
( : ( )
At "NeuroFit 360", I STARTED by "WALKING" into the facility VERY WELL --for ~60 feet … INCLUDING TWO 90-degree turns!
( : ) )
Under STAFF-supervision, I did some AWKWARD "WALKING" on the treadmill … 'cuz my LEFT ankle kept "ROLLING" … AND my "Walkaid" kept electronically-SHOCKING the nerves in my LEFT leg.
( : ( )
…
I RECOVERED to do some EXEMPLARY DEEP-squats (DOWN to ~45 degrees from the ground)AND ALTERNATING "SINGLE-leg"- KNEELING.
( : ) )
MORAL
"START strong. FINISH strong."

MANY people THINK that I BRAG.
…
But, I do NOT boast!
(… I caN'T help it, if MUCH of the TRUTH just HAPPENS to be rather COMPLIMENTARY to … ME!)
(… Yes, I have a "LAUNDRY-LIST" of ESTEEMED accomplishments in the ACADEMIC, ATHLETIC, PHILANTHROPICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL "fields". But, I MUCH PREFER to let "my ACTIONS speak for themselves".
So, I guess you COULD say that I'm "a bit of a SHOW-off".
(… Pun IN-tended.)
_____________________________________________________________________________
…
Since my SPEAKING is rather UN-intelligible and DIFFICULT to--COGENTLY/CLEARLY--"produce", I--LOGICALLY/UNDERSTANDABLY--can-NOT "sing my OWN praises".
(… ALTHOUGH, I WAS in the school-"Chorus" in fourth & fifth grade.)
My speaking IS improving!
So, maybe SOON BOAST MORE of my ESTEEMED accomplishments.
(… Please IGNORE my listing of my MANY successes on HERE.
But, then again, isn't THAT the PURPOSE of a BLOG--to "note" HOW my "RECOVERY" is going?!)
___________________________________________________________________________
DESPITE a VERY UN-charasterically BAD session of LEG-training at "NeuroFit 360", I STILL managed to have a FEW GOOD instances.
1) While I was "WALKING" (with a walker), the OWNER of my gym yelled some rather UN-pleasant, UN-wanted CRITICISM of my "AMBLING".
(… His UN-welcome RANTS were NOT even A FORM OF "CONSTRUCTIVE-criticism". They were just KINDA … mean! I;m sure he MEANT WELL. But, his DICTION and TONE were VERY POORLY-executed!)
2) … Nonetheless, I "pushed through" the BLATANTLY ANNOYING teasing to have THREE SEPARATE LONG "WALKS"--WITH MY walker--of ~30 feet (=10 yards) (= 360 inches).
3) One VERY ANNOYING & MEAN mother of a patient was walking VERY CLOSE to me. I closed my eyes to DESPERATELY TRY to IGNORE her! So, she YELLED--in Spanish--'DUERME!' She--STUPIDLY--THOUGHT I was SLEEPING--DESPITE sitting FULLY-UPRIGHT & NOT leaning on ANYTHING!
4) … My NOT PUNCHING her "DUMBASS"-face displayed REMARKABLE control & discipline on MY part!
5) A staff member showed me a BETTER, more CONTROLLED way of "STEPPING with MY WALKER". With this NEW, smartER technique, I minimize my LEFT leg CONSTANTLY swinging-out WAY WIDE LEFT with EVERY step.
GENIUS!
Thanks A LOT!

(… His UN-welcome RANTS were NOT even A FORM OF "CONSTRUCTIVE-criticism". They were just KINDA … mean! I;m sure he MEANT WELL. But, his DICTION and TONE were VERY POORLY-executed!)
2) … Nonetheless, I "pushed through" the BLATANTLY ANNOYING teasing to have THREE SEPARATE LONG "WALKS"--WITH MY walker--of ~30 feet (=10 yards) (= 360 inches).
3) One VERY ANNOYING & MEAN mother of a patient was walking VERY CLOSE to me. I closed my eyes to DESPERATELY TRY to IGNORE her! So, she YELLED--in Spanish--'DUERME!' She--STUPIDLY--THOUGHT I was SLEEPING--DESPITE sitting FULLY-UPRIGHT & NOT leaning on ANYTHING!
4) … My NOT PUNCHING her "DUMBASS"-face displayed REMARKABLE control & discipline on MY part!
5) A staff member showed me a BETTER, more CONTROLLED way of "STEPPING with MY WALKER". With this NEW, smartER technique, I minimize my LEFT leg CONSTANTLY swinging-out WAY WIDE LEFT with EVERY step.
GENIUS!
Thanks A LOT!
