Years from now, when you tell people you had brain surgery, they will be in disbelief....because "you look normal".

or

they say, "that explains a lot"....but you would have to know me to understand that one.

LOVE this string!  I was having a kind of downer week and this just lifted my spirits and put a great big Half-smile on my face!  Thanls!

I'd add that external noises at night are no longer a problem for me - I blissfully sleep right through everything.

The most important one is that: 

If you feel there is something wrong, keep searching until you find the answer, it may not be what you want but it is an explanation that you need.
