Dad is having trouble adjusting to his new settings, but I think it's going well. I stayed with him overnight and he had some trouble, but he was better by the morning. Hoping for a more speedy recovery
I'll tell you all what the hyperchicken is about... you see, during betatesting... wait where did this chicken feather came from... looks around... well we don't discuss the hyperchicken...
I've some snooping around the forums, and it does seem to be linked to the beta test BGEE. But all direct discussion of it has been removed from the "viewable" forum.

Dad is being moved from the hospital to a rehab center where they will be giving him intensive mental and physical rehab therapy. With any luck, he should be home in a few weeks.
Dad is trying really hard, he can recognize photos and is sitting up practicing writing. If he gets more than a few things wrong he gets frustrated and stops for a while. He's still slurring his words and saying things that don't make sense, but he's really trying.
Yeah, he makes zero sense when he talks, but he has come a long way. His sense of humor is back and his memory is slowly coming back. Today he counted all the way to 85 before forgetting.
Dad is struggling to remember things, and it's heartbreaking seeing him this agitated. He was able to tell me what year it was and who was president. He struggles with the alphabet skipping letters every now and then and slurring others. He seems to want to count to 10, but only in Spanish in which he again slurs the words. Open coaxing he was able to count to a least 20 before he started talking about something else. He can recognize words, but will have to regain the ability to write them. Progress is slow and I feel almost broken to see Dad like this.
More progress on Dad. He still can't speak very well, but his facial expressions have become more defined. Today he smiled, gave me a thumbs up, his sense of humor seems to be back and he hugged me.
Got up now on all 7 (well, almost 7 I guess) seasons of Game of Thrones now. It's too bad these last two seasons are going to be so short and the wait for Season 8 will be so long, but I've got plenty of other stuff to watch in the meantime. In conclusion it's a Great Show 7.5/10
I've thought about the books, but I've heard some of the characters aren't as good. For example, I really don't want to read Tyrion with significantly less humor and significantly less face, but that's just my opinion. I've got plenty of other stuff to watch in the meantime (though Doctor Who Series 11 won't start until September)
Last month I told you guys that my Dad had a stroke. While he is certainly nowhere near a full recovery, I went o see him today and he's beginning to be able to hold a conversation. About 60% of the words he say come out as gibberish but he's come a very long way. Thank you for your continued thoughts, prayers and support.
I like to think that Future Male Doctors will now have awkward conversations with their companions
Companion: You're a man, how could you possibly know how I'm feeling right now. Doctor: I know more than you think Companion: What's that supposed to mean Doctor: It's complicated.
I know I'm about to anger both sides of the argument with my TN opinion here, but here goes.
The New Doctor: Jodie Whittaker
While personally I'd rather The Doctor remain male, I am a fan of the show first and foremost and as long as the show keeps delivering quality content and the actor playing The Doctor keeps delivering a quality performance, The Doctor's gender is irrelevant to me.
