My wife has some minor paralysis on the right side. Her major effect was to the language centers in her brain. Immediately after the stroke, she could only speak in two word phrases. Now, she's recovered about 60% of her speech capability. She searches for words, and has problems spelling.
Best of luck, and take care.

I was fortunate, the neuropsychologists told me that my language was intact
(interestingly, right after the stroke, I could speak and understand Spanish, better than English, my mother tongue.aThey say my my math and logic are intact, so I'm good to go.Sometimes I feel like a brilliant mind trapped inside a useless body, but I think losing my mind would be much worse.At least now I can keep myself entertained by trying to solve differential equations in my head.

I tried that once never again, Like every one it's good to hear you again, we have lost a lot of the older hands (Darlek Dave for one!) but will still have Griff, Nagy, Mike Martin (occasionally) & others...

Thanks, Marc! I think I'm reasdy for my defense. My 2 supervisors have already grilled me on all the details as I worked on my research.My dissertation is titled"An Integrated Model for Optimizing Production of Marginal Oil Fields". It's basically a big numerical model solving the equations for fluid flow for all of the pieces of equipment in an oil field, simultaneously.
Shareable? Yes, I can send you a copy if you're interested.

Sent. Lret me know if you got it and if it makes any sense!!
In themeantime, I've applied for admission to business school.
I don't really need or want another degree, but I'm hoping I can learn how to make some more money for my retirement next year.
I've already been auditing some classes and it should be interesting.

Hah, I know what you mean. Happily, software development is a playground, hobby, and profession all wrapped into one for me. It feeds both the kid and the adult in me.

I was actually thinking about you last week. Had not heard from you in a while. I am glad you are on the mend. Stomach wounds are the worst in my honest opinion, but since I never hurt a rib, I can't make an honest comparison - I will take your word on that.
Take care.

Just having you back is good! Go and finish your work and it'll be gooder!

Does Not Commute[^]
It's a simple little driving game, where all you have to do is get the short distance from A to B without hitting too many things. When you get there, you get another car, and another A to B run. Easy peasy. Except...why is that guy driving like an idiot? And WTElephant is that school bus doing?
When you realize that you are driving all the cars and each time you have to avoid your previous journeys...all against a cumulative time out...it's quite a clever idea, and it's pretty addictive. And annoying. And the idiot that hit you was you, so you only have yourself to blame.

1) Learn to read. It clearly says at the top of this page that programming questions are unwelcome
2) DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalization if you want to be taken seriously.
3) You have this posted in QA, and that's not your first question, so you have shown you know what to do and where to post.
So basically, you have just decided that the rules don't apply to you and that you can be rude. Not a good idea when you want help from people...

you who have so helped our eyes to see
the glyphs in which our words are born,
now, one more broken puppet cast aside
for fickle fashion's changed: the tide
of pastels bleaches web-sites visually;
meaning's whole languishes, still-born
do six zeroes conjure-up a toxic spell
that's broken, now, by the Wired heads
who, over wine, at some bespoke soiree
decree the latest meme for readability?
and we with eyes no longer see so well
relegated to black-on-white's hard bed?
oh, blinding day, when words don't say
what they said to us clearly yesterday
