Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

I start each day fairly energetic, but boy does that wane quickly!  After my initial burst of steam today, I only had energy for pondering things.  My apologies for the stream of consciousness format.  

Why is it that riding in the car with people has proven to be the most frustrating part of this so far?  No one can understand me in the car at all.  When I'm driving, I can't even write a note, and as a passenger it isn't all that safe for the driver to be reading notes.  So why do people keep asking me questions in the car?

Why is it that canned coconut milk has 200 calories per 1/2 cup, but carton coconut milk has 30- 60?

When is the swelling to go down in my neck?  It seems to have reached a standstill.

How should I deal with someone freaked out by my speaking voice?  The young sales woman at a store was completely unsettled by me and didn't know what to do. Sigh.

What should I say when people say I am amazing?  I don't feel amazing.  I feel better each day, but amazing is a long way off. 

Where am I going to find better syringes?  The ones from the hospital are not that great and are pretty stained up all ready.  There is some thing called squirrel syringes, or O-ring syringes that are supposed to be better.  That will be the next search.

How do you hand a bank teller a note without getting arrested?

When will I ever find the time to sort through all the stuff I have accumulated?  You know, the stuff you are going to use someday... the project... the book... the tools... the STUFF.  

How do you know you're never going to need it (see above)?

What healthy food would you eat if you didn't have to taste it?  

How will I ever thank all the people who have done so much for me?

Who will be the first person to answer these questions?

canned coconut milk is not thinned to drinking consistency.

Use the drive through at
the bank. Notes are acceptable there.

You don't need much, once you throw it away you will never think about it again.

Maybe the swelling is to hide the stitches???

Lesley wins!
Okra and sardines. I can think of lots of unhealthy foods...but that wasn't the question. Is okra good for you?
IDK I look at the definition of amazing (causing great surprise or wonder) and stand by it. Your recovery speed may be slow to you...but to me, well it's....

I laughed out loud at your bank query, even though I know it was serious. I just can't see you in a police lineup. I like Lesley's idea of going through the drive-through. I have a couple answers (one to a question that wasn't even posed today): First, eat kale, almonds, blueberries, salmon, broccoli, chard--google Super Foods and put 'em all in there. Second, have you tried acupuncture for sleep? I know it's mostly about position and such, but it's possible this could help get you to a place that will help you sleep for longer bursts. I know how important that is to healing and sanity. I also know a wonderful acupuncturist who makes house calls, if you were so inclined. --Anne
PS: And sorry, I don't know how to respond to the question about people telling you you're awesome because I'm one of those people and I think you are.
