Let me translate that from Stephanese!

I have difficulty communicating. I speak Stephanese!

I have a hard time finding the right words. I substitute the wrong words. I have trouble tracking what is going on, so I get lost in conversations.

Having a sense of humor helps me with this difficulty.

Once I accidental substituted the word cognitive "impalement" for cognitive "impairment". When I did this, I laughed because having a "cognitive impairment" from my "cognitive impalement" is an expected outcome.

Do you have a funny story about when you got confused or discombobulated?

Do you know any tricks and tips to make this kind of thing easier?

FORE!

In the MRI they took when they discovered my brain tumor, the picture looked to me like about the size and shape of a golf ball. So, it is not surprising that the surgical scar on the side of my head, after the tumor was resected, looked a lot like a divot. Do you want to see the ball?
