Today I went to see a curmudgeonly neurologist about my post concussion symptoms and he made me touch my nose a bunch of times with my eyes closed. Then he told me that it is not healthy to be sleeping 24 hours a day, but otherwise its healthy. Many more astute people could have come to a similar deduction without a degree from neurology school. He looked a little bit like a mad scientist in a white lab coat and loafers with little fringies dangling off them, and he had a penchant for violently swiveling around in his swivel chair. He reminded me a bit of Spock, if Spock had a much less interesting outfit, job, and life.

The waiting room looked like a space ship. The chairs were all leather and lined up in rows in front of a single TV. I sat in one uncomfortably for a while watching a sobering special on life threatening aneurysms and brain eating bacteria. Brain eating bacterium have just made the top five list of things that I think should be banished from our humble planet earth. Grouped along with reality shows that throw cars off of tall buildings and surprise attacks on African villages.
