oh, well she had contracted some sort of STD when she was younger, and it (like Syph . . .. heck, maybe was syph . .. only, she didn't know . .. so that makes it something more like Chlam . . . but I don't know if that travels up the ol' spinal chord like Syph does . . . .)
. . . where was I? . . .. . oh yeah . . . so it went dormant after an unnoticed initial outbreak down in the neither-here-nors and then later traveled up her ol' spineroony and started to eat her brain (←hyperbole? . . . . perhaps) . . .. . anyhooo . . . it ate something in there that left her feeling really happy all the time.
which is why she went to see the doctor.
who referred her to our famed Dr. O-Sacks.
who figured it out and gave her the ol' shot of penicillin, right in the heinie.
which immediately killed the whats-it.
. . . but did nothing for her brain damage . . .
leaving her feeling very, very happy for the rest of her days.
the end.
