I'm still recovering. I've tried typing with two hands but my right reverts back to hunt n peck

And I have nerve damage to the right side of my face. It is still healing, but it's been almost a year, so... I can walk again, but don't have the balance I did before. That's probably because I'm deaf in the right ear too.

And 5% of the tumor is still there, and will grow back, so the doc wants to go back in and kill it before it does. By then, I probably won't have insurance, and this just might qualify as a pre-existing condition. No insurance co. is going to touch me with a 10' pole.

But considering I should be dead, this is a good alternative.

        Like your condition mine mostly happens to older folks. So the support groups were mostly retirees. - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 20:39
