Ooooh - thank you so much for the welcome back. I now have to take the dust devil and clean - my house is very dusty.
I am so without words - and feel very (uuh, 'bescheiden' in German - ah thanks google word thingy) humble.
I will drop in every now and then. But reading many words is still very slow. My new & slim brain needs a bit longer to process context. But at least I got most of my abilities back. The right hand is still very stubborn not to talk about those fingers who refuse to function correct. Therapy has made a huge change and I can walk nearly without a limp. One side effect of the operations is that my balance is off - weird that. I thought balance is in the ear but maybe they chopped of too much of one side of the brain and the weight distribution is off.
I have even started a book!!! My first since the first operation. I think it is rather big - but if i can manage 5 pages / day i can get through it this year. Sadly I can not yet read on my Sony - the eyes just go to sleep. Maybe it is getting old and I need a new one

.
MOTH still does not read - I don't think he ever will. But he also says 'thank you' to all of you for your kind thoughts and support.
