I was at a couple of events this past weekend. Friday night was a local theater production of 12 Angry Men. Climbing the stairs in the dark is challenging. Walking to your seat and needing to get by people standing up for you is even more fun. I have to grab my damned spastic left arm and hold it to my waist or I would whack people as I go by. I can't put my left arm on the arm rest, it will migrate into the next persons space, and I don't have anyone familiar enough yet that would appreciate that contact. So I either grab the left arm and hold it diagonally on my right leg or sit on it with my right leg.
Saturday was the movie, The Great Beauty, an Italian movie which already won the Golden Globes, in preparation for our Italy trip. Same issues with the left arm.
The best part was the end of the night, since we all drove in one van to Detroit. We stopped at one friends house and 5 of us polished off 5 bottles of wine from 12am to 3am, dissecting the whole movie and our upcoming trip. We are making sure we can consume wine properly in Italy, neuroplasticity you know, thousands and thousands of repetitions needed.
Life is not just good, it's Great.
Actully Dean, it's not neuroplasticity that will enable you to drink in Italy, it's changes in your liver that occur in response to alcohol consumption that allow you to drink more without ending up under the table with no clothes on and a lampshade on your head. Let's call this hepatoplasticity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julia, I want to make sure I report this need to my neurologist properly. This description of yours, sounds like you know exactly how this has played out before. Been under the table much?
