Hi @kayabbott, (your online name, takes me 4 mins)
I’m so glad of being a professional research scientist & your doctoral dissertation (how long it takes me of writing this) and lots of publications.

I was close to become the top manager of a cities local government. I was close to my 2 year degree (I can’t remember the name over my 4 year univ). One class - but that morning that bicycle locked - not from my legs - hit the top on the left of my head. Everything changes. Forcing retirement; can’t swim as my exercise anymore; memory of my family’s decades ago is gone; no more driving including 40+ years being a MC’ist; and on… BUT….

I love Jesus Christ and He helps me to a different life and I’m alive; my family - my great wife (for the last 41+ years); my son & daughter and their marriage from diff states; brothers, uncle, aunts, and cousins is fantastic. My wife has step-ed up to go our family from a state with all of us, weekly.

All this was easy as a normal=brain and took care of money costs, housing cost, taxes, traveling - and I was the driver to our family’s state, fixing or paying our needs of our house, made pretty good of what we needed.. and on…

My reading is gone; my understanding and hear is 80% gone. Taking numbers is actually pretty good; my dad did it and it was part of my born. I lost of some of this anyway. My life changed and 12 years ago in August 20’s, one weeks before our love of marriage. Over these years, I couldn’t walk or cutting our grass or eating decent (sp?) food; it took times; some are back to do easy stuff so my wife doesn’t need at our house and let her take her teaching job.
