I want to say sorry for my often hard to read post
Something many of you might not know about me I have a Severely Dyslectic. I was told that I would most likely never get past the eighth grade and if I did I would not finish High school.
Well I was not going to except that and lay down and die. It was a major struggle and tons of work. But I did it and went on to do My Master studies at University of Chicago.
Learning content was always easy for me. But to get it done on paper was next to impossible and reading was difficult and slow. But I beat the Odds. (Something I’ve reminded myself a lot this last year with my fight with cancer.)
So in short Dyslectic and cancer Drugs mixed and well you’ve seen the result.
Thank for listen. This something that is personal for me and I don’t often talk about.

You guys have been great.


Dyslexia: A specific reading disability due to a defect in the brain's processing of graphic symbols. Dyslexia is a learning disability that alters the way the brain processes written material.
Two commonly held beliefs about dyslexia are that children with it are prone to seeing letters or words backward, and that the problem is linked to intelligence. Both beliefs are incorrect. The problem is a linguistic one, not a visual one, in dyslexia. And dyslexia in no way stems from any lack of intelligence. People with severe dyslexia can be brilliant.
The effects of dyslexia, in fact, vary from person to person. The only shared trait among people with dyslexia is that they read at levels significantly lower than typical for people of their age. Dyslexia is different from reading retardation which may reflect mental retardation or cultural deprivation.
The treatment of dyslexia should be directed to the specific learning problems the person has. The usual course is to modify teaching methods and the educational environment to meet the specific needs of the individual with dyslexia.
The prognosis (outlook) for people with dyslexia is mixed. The disability affects such a wide range of people, producing different symptoms and varying degrees of severity, that predictions are hard to make. The prognosis is generally good, however, for individuals whose dyslexia is identified early, who have supportive family and friends and a strong self-image, and who are involved in a proper treatment program.

I was somewhat dyslexic as a child. Classic underachiever, too. Hated sitting and listening. I couldn't understand why we had to focus on Dick and Jane.

I just figured your structure was due to all the chemo stuff. Truthfully, you are writing clearer in the past week or so. I think you will continue to make progress. You could come back better than ever, you never know!

I used to use Firefox when I had dial-up. Less plug ins and other BS and it was a bit faster browser.

Since we moved into civilization and got cable, I don't even bother. Firefox is installed on my Desktop and my laptop, but IE is plenty fast enough for me.

Plus, too much music pi$$es the wifey off. She and I rarely agree on what constitutes 'good' music.

[jpsmith1cm]

I agree. You do seem to be a bit more clear since the end of the chemo treatments.

I hate IE... to many virus attacks try to come in that way. Seems to use more system resources too!
