The Elevator Guy (Chapter 1)

Noel’s Memory Book:

Sonya, my speech therapist, wants me to keep a Memory Book to help me with my memory, which is crap.  That tends to happen when you destroy half your brain.  So this book is for me to try to remember appointments and stuff that’s important for me to remember.  Also to help me to learn to write better with my left hand, since my right hand is curled into a mostly useless ball.  Next time I fall asleep while driving and smash my head in, I’m going to try not to destroy the dominant side of my brain.  That’s the plan.
