"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

...--Michael Scott, 'The Office' My Physical Therapist has been stretching my legs AND been having me do leg MOVEMENT exercises.  She was "VERY IMPRESSED" with my LEFT LEG moving ability! HEY!  I'M TRYIN'!

"It's ALL GOOD!"

My evening staff-person, my Physical Therapist and my Occupational Therapist ALL told me--SEPARATELY--that they've noticed that I'm "improving".  YAY!

"MY BAD!"

I apologize to my "readers"/"viewers" for my SLIGHT hiatus.  I've just been distracted by other "patients"' LACK of effort, and I've wanted to "VENT".  But then, I realize that THIS BLOG is about MY PROGRESS, NOT their LACK THEREOF! I've used my "SPIDER-SENSE"(--Spiderman) to detect that I have a greater degree of PAINLESS LEFT-SHOULDER/ARM MOVEMENT!  (To be continued on whether I can shoot spider-webs from my wrists...)

"BRAIN INJIRY, WHAT?!"

So, I just pedalled on the "FOOT-bike".  For awhile today, my "high" (output) was 57 rpm (57 revolutions-per-minute = 0.95 complete wheel turns per second).  THEN, I "kicked" it up a notch to 63 rpm.  (THAT = 1.05 complete wheel turns per second.) Hand-held calculators require SO MUCH WORK!  So, I just rely on my brain. (Ergo, I did those calculations MENTALLY.)

SELF-ANALYSIS:

Outside of my memory-loss and decreased patience, I feel that my injuries are ALMOST ALL physical.  For example, I have "tone" ("slight lack of control") along my left side.  But other than a previous BOTCHED surgery on my right forearm, my right side works FAIRLY WELL. It seems to think: "COMPENSATE!" (WOW!  DO I HAVE 2 BRAINS?!)

CORRECTION!

I might have made a TYPO in my last blog. "57 rpm =" 0.95 COMPLETE 360 degree turns per second (I didn't want to falsify information for my "audience".)

I AM LANCE

...ARMSTRONG--NOT BASS!!!  (MINUS the whole testicular cancer thing)   Today in Physical Therapy, I pedalled on the "FOOT-bike"".  My pedalling maximum was 57 rpm (revolutions per minute).  THAT'S 95% of a COMPLETE wheel-turn EVERY SECOND.  ((] JUST PUSHED UP MY GLASSES.)   THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.  (I'VE GOTTA "FIX" MY GLASSES ON MY FACE!)

NOTICED IMPROVEMENT

I "told" my Occupational Therapist recently that I've (See subject.) in the GREATER PAINLESS MOVEMENT that I have with my left arm.  He concurred. THIS IS HUGE!  ("THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID."--Michael Scott, 'The Office')

"BRAIN INJURY, WHAT?!", Part II

So, the staff weighed me--in my chair--and the scale displayed some WEIRD number.  I, then, pressed a button--for which staff YELLED at me, "WHY'D YOU DO THAT?!" Am I THE ONLY PERSON HERE who knows the "conversion"--2.2 pounds ~ 1 kilogram?

"BRAIN INJURY, WHAT?!"

I JUST beat my assistant Occupational Therapist--a former "Mathematics" major--at Connect 4--TWICE...WITH NO DEFEATS!  He disgustedly remarked, "HOW DO YOU PLAN THAT FAR AHEAD?!" (I JUST finished a sentence with a preposition.  CAN I DO THAT?!) (REGARDLESS!  I was just quoting him!)
