You don't need to have a stroke to lose your spelling ability. As a lifelong reader I used to be a pretty good speller. Then, after losing my eyesight and spending years without seeing the printed word, I found my spelling deteriorating terribly. Getting a computer and doing a lot of typing has led to quite a bit of recovery, but when I read some of my posts I can see that it is not a full recovery. Thank all of you for not making a big deal of it. "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine."

We're just glad to have you back typing misspellings and all. Stroke recovery is a long hard road, and you are talking to a bunch of folks who know about long hard roads. Just keep up the good work. If I had your tenacity I would have been elected President last November. Bet you didn't even know I was running!

I am writing slowly and thought I re-read my posts and I know I spell-checked some but now that I read what I posted I see they're terrible. I'll be much more careful now that I see I can't make assumptions that I typed correctly and will carefully read and spell-check before I post.
