PPCC List - I'm still here...

Mike:

Ouch!

When you “reassemble", please make sure all the parts go back where they should go. (Unlike, too often, with a Corvair!).

Hang in there! No matter how long it takes to mend. Sounds like it might be a while.

When you return, make sure you wear a “Hello, My Name Is Mike Piper” badge so we’ll remember who you are.

As Dave Feasel has told me many times, with a brian injury you look fine but stuff is not working.  I hope to get rid of the staples in my noggin tomorrow so I'll look fine (or at least the same).

I can't drive, and when I ride I end up closing my eyes because the hemmorage is near my visual cortex so the rapidly changing visuals are hard to process.  I have doctor stuff coming up soon so we'll see how things go.  I should be reassembled by the end of the year, I think.  As always, things could have been a lot worse.
