No details forthcoming, but here are a few observations:

1) There's NO more effective alarm clock than a nurse walking into your room at 6 AM, brandishing a large needle - which she fully intends to jab into your arm in order to drain a large amount of one of your Precious Bodily Fluids (thank you, George C. Scott) into a handful of rubber-stoppered glass tubes - and carrying out her intentions as if that's the way EVERYONE gets woken up in the morning.

2) The world looks different when you're seeing it with your eyes at wheelchair height (figure what, three and a half feet?) than it does from your normal walking eye height (unless, of course, you're only three-foot-eight tall).

3) Now that the Redstone Concussion-O-Meter has its needle pegged at a total of six (and this one still hurts, possibly from the cracked orbital bone), maybe you'll all listen to me: If you're going to go around collecting concussions, stop at three at the most. Please.

But not to worry. I'm doing fine now, and that's the truth. I have a lot of work to catch up on, but I'll get back to being around DU soon enough.
