"Where is home?" she asked.
"Home is home," I answered. I nike heels hadn't a clue.
"Be honest doctor, what's James' prognosis?" I heard the older blond ask Dr. Whatever. She cornered him just inside my room. She thought I was asleep.
"None of James' superficial injuries pose any problems. The arm fractures should heal, his knees nike high heels are banged up, he will require physical therapy - maybe additional surgery. His brain injury has me concerned. A prognosis, at this stage - it's too early to say. We'll be transferring James to Lenape Valley Rehab. They have a great brain nike dunk heels injury unit. Then we can evaluate the damage and begin recovery.
Fuck them, I'm not brain damaged. I'm not a sped, I thought.
"James' injury, is a classic case of closed head injury. His skull wasn't pierced. The brain jury occurred as his head nike dunk heels struck the windshield. When this happened his brain slammed at a very high velocity into his skull. The collision caused numerous bruises and tore numerous blood vessels. I'm concerned that the rapid movement may have stretched any neuronal axons."
"What would that do?" nike high heels the older blond asked.
"Worst case, a permanent effect on his fine motor control, up to and including paralysis."
The older blond sighed.
"Neuronal axons are threads that link cells to one another throughout the brain and from the brain to the rest of the jordan high heels body. Widespread axonal injuries can disrupt communication between brain regions and also between the brain and the body. An injury like James' has a tendency to effect broad areas of functioning."
