Some things improve quickly

After I had a stroke I was changed from a person who had been running Linux since 1993 to not being able to do anything with it. And for almost 3 years I simply couldn't use Linux. I did get to the point that I could use a phone and do simple things like keep together a list to go shopping or keep a calendar of the things I had to do with doctors.

During that time I tried repeatedly to be able to use the Linux systems that I had been using for many years, and computers in general which I had done for 30 years. With Christmas coming, I got a cheap laptop four windows, and converted it to run Linux. It was and almost instant Improvement. I got a few things 2 install with the help of a friend and then suddenly I was able to look at books and ask questions and set up servers and in general get things back in a very short time.

It seems to me that this is a combination of continuing to work at the problem and see if I could make it work, but having done that with no success at all, I have to believe that the Damage Done had not healed. Like several other things that I couldn't do for months or years and suddenly was able to do as though there had not been a problem, I have a feeling that at some point the neurons damage manage to relink and the information and networking which was lost was really just not connected, but was in fact there and once connection started improved quickly.
