Dr. Pournelle asked to have this posted:
Monday Dec. 25, I had a stroke. I think my head is all right, and I am recovering. Alas I used to be a touch typist and I am now learning to be a two finger typist. At present I am a one finger typist. Call it 1.1 finger, but after today’s therapy , maybe 1.2; I am learning. I just made the Spock sign.
Started a ramble to post, but it is easy with Windows 8 to have what you write vanish. I will keep trying.
Please someone post in my blog that I am here and learning. The Surface works but learning to use it and Outlook 13
after a stroke is hard enough and I am clumsy. But I am trying and think I will recover. But it takes time.But I am coming back.

All the best and a speedy recovery. You can handle this!
Dr. Pournelle, I have been a fan of your work since the 70’s, and have enjoyed your blog immensely in recent years. I hope, pray, and am looking forward to, your full recovery.
I trust you will have a fast recovery! All my best.
God speed on a quick and complete recovery.
Wishing you a speedy recovery !
You are in the thoughts and prayers of many. Godspeed to a quick recovery. No doubt there are all sorts of tools, software and hardware, that can be used in the process of recovery. That’s a nice chunk of reviews for “The User’s Column” — and a fair bit of stuff to help you recover quickly and fully.
Best wishes to you, to your lovely wife, and to your family.
You are in my prayers! Wishing you a speedy recovery.
God bless you, and a speedy recovery.
Jerry, we (your friends) are glad to see you starting to post your thoughts. Keep at it. We will not be troubled by a typo here or there. Let’s hear your running commentary about the 2016 election. That should get the juices flowing!
You have been a friend via your writings for a long time, including in my cargo pocket on a combat tour. I await your recovery so I can return to your world of honor and common sense. Thanks for everything so far and more good wishes for a speedy recovery!
Good luck, Dr Pournelle. You’ve been in inspiration and enjoyable presence in my own writing. I look forward to more panels with you.
Praying for a good recovery. God bless you and yours.
Long time reader, first time emailer. Get well soon, I am still waiting for the last installment of Janissaries. All kidding aside, my heartfelt prayers are with you.
Go, Doc, go!
Prayers ascending!
