1 My brother-in-law was rather severley dsylexic. He also had two PhD's and was a popular and respected physycist at Midwest Research Institute. My nephew, son of a different sister, is also dyslexic. At least she claims he is. I think he's just a complete idiot. On a side note, I was told yesterday by the doctor that the fractured bone in my neck does not need surgery. The one in my lower spine is still an open question. When you are 82 years old, don't fall.

2 Dyslexia is a real thing, no question Bill. And some of those who have th problem are quite brilliant.
Glad you dont need surgery; at your age that would be really tough. Hopefully you'll avoid  any of it and recover o.k. You have my prayers my friend!
