Ah… New Numerical Change

2016

This is the “day after” New Years Day, right? What new year is this now?

Ah, 2016.

What year did this blog begin so that I could write, and you could read, mainly about what I go through pertaining to my brain?

Oh, yeah… 2013.

It has now been TWO YEARS since that Official Brain Surgery of mine, back in January 2014. Pretty good job there, eh? Brain still works enough to let me still blog here.  🙂

What is my plans for 2016?

Stay a volunteer at the hospital.

I had been informed about maybe other things to do as a volunteer for the hospital here in town. I’ll let you know when I get all the facts straightened with that.

Less psych visits. Every-other week instead of every week? She has told me that she believes my brain has somehow gotten surprisingly better than she would have ever thought it could.

Now what?

I guess I’ll just let you know as I keep going…

Beautiful Monday.

Saw the Psych again today on Monday.

Ate burgers while talking about things which are things that are discussed with a Psych

Before we finished up she tells me…Uh, starting at the beginning of the new year, our schedule is CHANGING.

The First thing is…
We will only see each other EVERY OTHER WEEK.

The Second thing is…
The day of the week where everything is scheduled to happen, has changed! I am not lucky, and now I have to “change”. She “just learned” that she will be busy at noontime on Mondays. I asked:

“What about 1 o’clock on Monday?”
“No. I’m busy then too….”

Soooo…. Next year it will be: EVERY OTHER WEEK on TUESDAY?? Geeze!

Incognito… Book.

So, I watched The Brain on PBS and now own it on DVD. So next, I saw this book called Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain written by the same guy that did show….. David Eagleman.

Good Book! Only thing… It’s pretty much the same as the show I just watched. Quite a few things not mentioned in the TV show, but are talked about in the book in FULL detail. Other than that, it’s a good book.

Surgeon Appointment

Darren Long1 Comment

I had an appointment to see my Brain Surgeon at the hospital today.

I asked another Doctor who came to check on me…

“So, is my Brain Surgeon busy doing someone else’s brain today, and this is the reason I am unable to see him at this time?”

“No, the Neurosurgeon is in China right now for a conference where he is speaking.”

WHAT? My Brain Surgeon would RATHER go to China, and speak to other people who (probably) don’t understand what he is saying, rather than meet with his success?

Okay…. So, at the end of the meeting that I was having today with a different Doctor, I was told that I had no reason to come back and “try” to see the surgeon again for anymore years. I was informed that the SURGEON’S job is ALL DONE and it all looks good.

I’m sure they meant.. DON’T try to come and see him again!

But I think that I WILL try.

All BRAIN SURGEONS just need to be visited on a regular basis, right? They want to observe the good jobs that they completed successfully? RIGHT?

I went ahead and set up another appointment for late next year, even though they said that I do not need to come back at all. But, then again, don’t you think I should go ahead and KEEP TRYING until I see him? RIGHT?

Is he going to stay around the office just to see me?  ….a year from now?

Mmmmm…. maybe. I’ll find out then…

The Brain (DVD)

Darren LongLeave a comment

I’m just tired to find out that I was unsuccessful at recording anymore of this show! Now I have them all on DVD.

How did I get this DVD delivered to me from the a person driving a Postal Delivery Vehicle on a SUNDAY? What is this world coming to? The postal system on a SUNDAY? (Somebody up there at the postoffice just really enjoys me…?) 😉

Well, unfortunately, it was alone at my front door, and nothing else in my mailbox. Oh, well…

Anyway, this is what I wanted to be successful at watching. I can see every episode. Maybe I’ll let other people borrow it too? Maybe…

Ahh…. THE BRAIN.

This is the one I have been commenting about these past few weeks, and now have felt I missed the list of SIX episodes. I only watched a couple on PBS, and I thought I would see the rest on there too. Uh, no. My hi-tech television machine is saying it’s not showing anymore episodes.

If I watch these, I will “learn allot” or “start crying” as I have with the previous episodes seen before. Just as I have in the episodes I have commented about in previous entries.

Just finished the first one on these DVDs… Yep, that was the first one I talked about seeing in PBS.

NEXT!
