Well Kilcorran I guess I must have been a lazy sod because its now great having no boss. (Gives me time for VV LOL) and of course there is not much I can do about it. At first it was hell, I won't pretend otherwise. I bought a computer and have never looked back. The puter has even aided my recovery according to my consultant. I was VERY active like you and a sudden change like a stroke IS hard to handle - you just have to find something that you CAN do.
