You've given me some insight as to what was happening with dear daughter. She has virtually no memories of before 16y/o, which distresses her, bc if you you looked at her EEG back then it was like she was seizing ALL THE TIME. (A rare epileptic encephalopathic syndrome) It seems that transient memories were just getting wiped out.

One of my reasons for distrusting doctors is bc I was the one who arrived at her dx. And the rx she was being given for seizure control was making her syndrome worse. Even after being given the correct dx, I was the one proposing treatments. It was heartbreaking.

That is rough. If they did an eeg on me in high school, I don't know what it would have showed. It's my memories from high school that I can't really reach anymore. A friend would tell me we did this and I just say okay because I can't retrieve the information any more.

I can understand that. Having doctors not being able to diagnosis your daughter must have been terrifying for you.

The night I went to the hospital, I just remember before going and my mum told me that I was complaining of a massive headache. A neighbour took me and my mum to the hospital and it was an Intern who examined me first. He said it looked like I had a stroke because my balance was gone and I couldn't speak but I don't remember that. So, he wanted to send me home and the neighbour spoke up saying my mum couldn't look after me like that. That is when I was signed into the hospital. Everything is a blank until the next morning when they told me what was found and when they would operate, which was in a week because they had to get electrolytes stabilized.

It was pouring when I went out to get a couple of things done before the neurologist. Only got one done but the other can wait until tomorrow.

Neurologist appointment went well. EEG was good, so the combo of meds is working. The two little ones I've had (one in November before I reached the full dose of the new one) and the little one I had a week or go or so are nothing to worry about, he said. I've picked up one side effect and that is a slight tremor in one or both hands. It is not constant but when I use the computer mouse or trying to write sometimes. But he doesn't want to increase the dose of the new one because it could worsen the tremor or bring up different side effects.

He will see me in six months or before that if anything major happens.

Oh, wow! That is rough too!
How old were you when that happened?

And was it primarily your mom who looked after you during recovery?
Yanno, it's so hard looking after someone that you love. We're not medical professionals. You wind up asking yourself ... is this a normal part of recovery? Of illness? Of dying? Are things getting worse? Better? Am I doing the right thing?

And by the time you learn from one experience, it's too late for that event. You don't get to apply what you learned bc there's usually no "next time" for that person or illness.

I'm sure you went thru that with your mom, and I'll bet she went thru that with you.

It's a damn good thing your neighbor spoke up. I shudder to think what might have happened otherwise. Shame on the Dr for being so dismissive!

I was 24 years old.

Yes, she was. I was pretty functional when I got home. I could do everything but thinking was a little fuzzy in the beginning and I knew my brain was healing. My mum would come with me when I went to the library and I started getting books out that were easy to read on dinosaurs and worked my way up. But there were rules like I couldn't take a bath by myself because our family doctor was worried if I seized in the bath, I would go under the water and drown. So, my mum was there watching me. If she went out there had to be someone with me incase of emergency. She usually called a friend of hers to come in.

I did some and I would ask questions of the nurses that they sent. I am doing this right. Should my mum be doing something else. She did. I think some of the bath thing was my mum asking if I got hurt in the tub as well as being by myself.

It was and of course the word stroke freaked her out completely even though he said it was rare. Well to be frank the tumour would have killed me and that would have been worse on my mum.

Well, no luck today at mah jong. Took the whole 2 hours to break make 1,000points. Almost had all 4 flowers of one colour twice but couldn't get the fourth. First hand I almost had winds & dragons but couldn't get rid of one tile. One of those mornings and of course it is harder when there are 4 people playing which is what happened to me. Dry today which was nice but I wish it would stay so I can ditch my heavy coat.

Hey Sigs... I had a coding batch file coding question for your husband, and I appreciate any input he could give...


Say I had 2 lists of 100 text strings in two separate text files. These lists were once part of a spreadsheet that had all 100 of those values in order right next to each other (they are related).

Now, I want to use the data from both of those lists to write a batch file I already know works, that will ultimately change metadata tags in an XML file using another BAT that is already written. My problem is, unless I can code a batch to properly extract the data from both of those lists in order, the only way I'm writing this batch file is by copying and pasting the values one at a time from both lists (which are actually much, much larger than 100 items).


So the commands would look something like this...

"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [1st value from list 1]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [1st value from list 2]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text"

"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [2nd value from list 1]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [2nd value from list 2]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text"


"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [3rd value from list 1]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text" [3rd value from list 2]
"XXXXXXXXXXX Command Text"

The "X Command Text" doesn't matter, and there is no space between that and the values from the lists like I put above. I already know how to get all of the other text in there on every line without any problems.

I've been messing with FOR /F command loops and I can get it to properly put the value from the first list exactly where I want it to go on every line, but the problem is that no matter what I've done I either duplicate the data from the 1st list where I need the data from the 2nd list, or I add data from both lists where the data for only the 2nd list should go with a space in between. (The data from the 2nd list is correct on every line, but it's preceded by the duplication of the data from the 1st list with a space after it on every line that I don't want).

I know I'm so close now, but I hit a wall a few hours ago and I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall at this point.


I'm sure there are better ways to do this than a batch with a command prompt, but I'm only one step away from getting this thing to work now and I'd rather not have to learn python or move this over to a linux system to get it done. I'm sure there's a way and I'm just not finding it.

Hubby wants to know what software you're using, and what software you're prepared to use.

Normally he would use GREP or somehow create a third file using the "merge" command.

So ... what software are you using? Microsoft command line?
