All Things Considered...

Any day spent even partially in a hospital qualifies as a weird day. Yesterday I spent a few hours getting poked, prodded, and scanned in an effort to find the source of my back-related discomfort. I taught four classes before spending three hours at the hospital. When I got home I went for a three-mile walk and felt absolutely wonderful, I felt liberated from some captivity. This could be due to the electricity shot through my body repeatedly by a neurologist using a taser-like device.

Wednesday was Suck Day for me, but for some reason I felt better Thursday, despite teaching grammar all day and seeing sick people in hospital gowns with those looks on their faces. You know those looks...the looks people only wear while incarcerated at a hospital.

All things considered, yesterday was terrific, though I fail to understand why.
