Mini-Update (Updated as of Sunday 1-19-2014)

Mal,

So sorry to hear of your wife's stroke. Sure that was a frightening experience for both of you. Glad it was not the seriously damaging type (My mother had one similar to your wife's a few years ago, all it did was slightly mess up her speech). Like your wife, my mother is scared to travel to far, because of risk of having another stroke (however, she is 87). Good luck ahead, hopefully it was a one time shot.

Squirm,

Thanks. In my case, every single doctor I have seen, regardless of specialty, feel its was all induced by the flawed radiation I undertook in 2009. Five years later, the damage continues to grow.
