 RC> If I am not mistaken, you suffered a stroke, yes?

Yes, I did. I'm something of a miracle; a bubble in a blood vein on my
right frontal lobe blew up causing a stroke and I'm not dead or paralyzed.
I did have some nerve damage on my left side some to my inner ears and to
my short term memory. I know some people don't believe in G-d and say there
are no more miracles, I say they're not paying attention, miracles happen
every day.

I think medicine has progressed to a point where more people can have a
stroke and survive it. I hope he's doing well.

It sucks to be Klahn.
