Miclog #s 5, 6 & 7: I wrote 5 & 6 about a month ago 7 will be more updated, to simplify things, I will call this whole thing miclog #567, as I will probably never get that high. I am going to copy and paste 5, 6 & 7. Why? Because I can. Here we go -
Microg #5 ("Inception") - After seeing the Hollywood feature with Leonardo Dicaprio, I thought to myself, "the landscape of my mind is a lot like Paris, and I would love to have Leo Dicaprio tinkering around in there." Unfortunately, Leo was not available and dream invasion doesn't exist *sigh*...guess I'll keep dreaming of the day when Leo comes to sedate me and invade my dreams. The only alternative to that dream within a dream is to have a hypnotherapist "incept" the idea that it is no longer necessary for me to instruct my left arm to take action, the way you command your butt-cheeks to clinch when you need to abstain from flatulence at the dinner table. Listen, I waste an excessive amount of "CRAM" (Cognitive Random Access Memory), thinking about moving/manipulating my left arm/hand; resources that should be devoted to ending world hunger or pondering the age old question: Diamond Dave or Sammy Hagar? Actually, I have already found the answers to both - magic and Diamond Dave (period). I need more energy to anticipate the needs of my darling daughter and her tyrannical compulsions for juice and pancakes. To reprogram my noodle to devote a reasonable amount of "CRAM" to the critical tasks outlined above, I have enlisted the services of a hypnotist. At this point, I have done pretty much everything that modern medical science has to offer, why not try a little hocus pocus? To my surprise, the mind can overcome some daunting hurdles when properly channeled. I wrote this a month ago and like anybody (brain injured or knee injured or emotionally injured) I have lost my train of thought...more on my actual hypnosis is forthcoming, stay tuned!
Miclog #6 ("conception"): I am throwing out the name "Microg" because 'blog' is not fairly represented. Therefore, the 'r' is to be dropped in favor of an 'l', bringing it closer to the word 'blog'. As a promoter of equal rights, the change makes me happy; I like to be happy : ) With that, I give you the first "Miclog", Micro-blog #6 -
It seems that hypnosis works, at least for a little while; until my brain realizes it's been hoodwinked, at which point the "CRAM" will again be dominated by my occupational therapist asking me, ''why aren't you using your left hand?" I am by no means back to a point where I can puppeteer (as many of you know,I LOVE puppeteering, if you didn't know that we're not friends anymore, shame on you!), my left arm now acts more of its own accord, still clumsy and slow, but now my mind has more energy to devote to the important things, such as - birth certificate issues concerning our president and the royal wedding.
Miclog #7 (" No Country for Big Needles"): At this moment (5:25pm, Wednesday the 8th of June) - if you read it later, I'll probably be getting Q a "happy juice"
or swinging her in the backyard - I am sitting up in a hospital bed at Zale Lipshy in Dallas. A little after the noon o'clock hour, a doctor jabbed me in the spine with two needles(!), the first to numb the area, and the second to pump in that sweet muscle relaxing known as baclofen. Other than fulfilling a lifelong desire to get not one, but two shots in my spine, the goal was to see how my left leg would react to a direct shot of baclofen. This " baclofen trial" as it is called, was deemed a success in so far as it significantly reduced my tremors and improved my gait (no more circumduction or hyperextension, but I drag my foot). All this means I am eligible for pump surgery where they surgically implant a chair on my back where a doctor injects baclofen into my spine every 4-6 hours...I asked the doctor how I'm supposed to sleep, he shrugged and said, "not my problem." and now...page 2.
Although you won't have to wait to read this, I must wait to write more owing to the need to potty, you'll never know I'm gone. I'm back, which is evident by the fact that you are reading...I don't know that I have anything else of substance...go Mavs and keep fighting the good fight, Lynn! Ciao.
