Glad to help!
My mission is different from yours; I'm trying to relate my stroke experience to help inform/inspire others.
My technique is very simple, since I have to do everything with only one hand:
I set up a webcam and record short (~5-minutes) episodes. I shoot a complete take at a time, extemporizing the script.
I use free software, the VSDC Video Editor, for very simple editing -- overlaying text, superimposing images, etc. For title pages, I make simple PowerPoint slides. I get tired very quickly, so I have to keep it simple.
Next, I export the video to whatever format I want and upload to YouTube. Here's the result:

You might consider YouTube as a way to distribute to extended family, etc., using privacy controls to limit exposure. I have a feeling your whole family is going to be interested in this!
I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know. Good luck with your project!
I saw your video(s) Scott. Looks great!
Since I produce TV video for a living, I'm got TOO MUCH editing stuff, software, equipment, etc., lol. But that doesn't change CONTENT (Editing rule: Content is King) which is what you have proved with your videos. Nice work.
I'm very finilar with VSDC, which is an open source clone of Adobe Premier. It's a fantastic tool, and even better to learn on if you ever plan to upgrade. Great choice!
I'll upload to a few different locations, including Youtube. But seeing your layout has convinced me that at least one version needs to cut into seperate videos. Makes a lot more sense.
If you ever want some formatting or filming feedback, let me know.
Thanks for your feedback!
