You sure have not lost a sense of humor.

I'm brain damaged, and still made gains....

It also gives me an out if it all goes pear-shaped:

I'm brain damaged, what'd you expect?

That gave me a good chuckle. Good to hear the artery is healed, but remember it was injured once, it may look fine and dandy and just like it did before being damaged, it does not mean it can not happen again, so keeping stress levels down, (not an easy thing), you must still think about.

I know doctors and scientist keep telling us that when brain cells die they do not grow back or heal, I am on the fence on that one. Some people do seem to get better from brain injuries. The brain does compensate for body injury and aging why would it not compensate for its own injuries?
