Rehab

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has been relocated to Texas Medical Center in Houston to begin rehab. A few years ago I spent time in a rehab center following brain surgery, and since then I've had a particular interest in following the stories of people with traumatic brain injuries. I suppose deep down I want to compare notes with people who've shared the experience. For me, there were parts of rehab that I dreaded every day, and I usually couldn't wait to get back in bed to lie down. It was only after I was discharged and had been home a few days that I began to develop tremendous admiration for all the people who took care of me and worked with me through the process

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
