I am starting to have a gutful of the halo. It seems to be all I
talk about anymore. I do like having an easy conversation starter, and I
appreciate that people ask because they care and are genuinely
interested. But I have said the same thing about sleeping approximately
98 times ("Yeah, I sleep fine, on my side usually, and with something
next to my cheek so it doesn't feel like my head's hovering in air").
And I have said the same thing about showering about 49 times ("I hose
down my bottom half and rub the top half with a flannel. Can't wait for a
shower!"). And I have said why I have the halo probably about 20 times ("I
fell off a waterslide on to my head.")
I should come up
with some more amusing answers before I go to tomorrow's birthday party
with lots of interested, well-meaning people. For my amusement.

I left something behind in my halo clinic today. The nurse came running after me to return it. I said to her, "Thanks, I would forget my head if it wasn't screwed on."
Far out, I'm funny.

Speaking of funny, had the best encounter in the shopping centre the other day. Waiting in line at JB
HiFi to purchase a Chromecast (It's great!). An elderly man made a
bee-line right for me and stood nose-to-nose staring at me, eyes agog.
"Are you real?" He gaped.
"Yes, I'm real. I broke my neck."
He turned to his carer/companion. "Is she real? She says she's real."
Bless his lil old soul. :)
