Wow. I'm glad you've resurfaced, and I hope your rehabilitation progresses smoothly.

(If it's not too forward, I'll also mention that I work for the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, and that we provide free audiobooks and playback equipment, including breathswitch and mouth stick adaptors that allow our equipment to be used by people who can't use their hands and mobile audiobook player apps designed with accessibility in mind. If free books would help keep your spirits up, I can point you in the right direction to get enrolled.)
