Is this my salvation?

23sens1184For the millions -- billions even -- of readers out there who read my blog every day, you already know about my plight, but just to wallow in self pity for a moment, here is the CNN-ready recap.

SAN FRANCISCO : Two years ago, world renown rock guitarist Jeff Shattuck fell in his Pacific Heights mansion and suffered a subdural hematoma on his cerebellum. He has been dizzy ever since, and while he continues to give guitar lessons to Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page and Keith Richards, he has not been seen on stage since the accident.

Well, my days of seclusion may soon be over thanks to the so-odd-it's-cool looking device in the upper left photo (which I swiped from the NY Times). I learned about the doctor behind this contraption on a visit to St. Mary's hospital in SF, and while he passed away recently, his brainchild lives on. Now with the catchy name Brainport, it's undergoing clinical trials, and I am not beneath using my star power to get a slot. So far, I've written to the company charged with commercializing the Brainport twice, but for whatever reason, they don't seem to know who I am. Odd. I remain optimistic, though, that in time they will be sending a jet to whisk me to their secret lab and fix me up. Wish me luck!

Seriously, I want to try this thing.
