The brain fart....a misconception to most people, a humorous term used to describe a situation when they make a bad decision or forget something... not so serious in this sense. I think of my stroke as a brain fart. An eruption or sudden explosion I had no control over. A silent "killer". In eleven months the doctors have not been able to determine the cause. The focus is now on a possible microscopic air bubble... hence the fart. I had a Qlinc implanted a month ago. This implant will monitor my heart for any sudden or irregular beats for about 2 years. I have a device that plugs into a wall and sends constant uploads to a monitoring station. Supposedly if anything goes wrong a dispatch is sent immediately. This is not a pace maker or anything like that, it monitors the blood flow and checks for air bubbles. I am sure my family wishes I had an air monitor on another part of my body.
Years ago a TV show..Boston Legal, featured a character played by William Shatner who would blame any irrational behavior or absent mindedness on mad cow disease. This let him get away with much. I tell people I had a brain fart. When they look at me funny and laugh a little, I get a serious look on my face and say "No, really, I had a brain fart". I figure this can be an excuse for my behavior well into old age. God gave me an excuse not to have to act like a grown up, now if I could just find my longboard, the family keeps hiding it from me.
