 RM> yes, there was a governor-general who had a stroke.  It was Jules 
 RM> Leger.  He stayed in office until his term ended.

After my father's third stroke, I said to dad:

 "Finally you are more disabled thasn me!"

My Brain-damage disability is like a stroke. Both my father & I
have made remarkable recoveries.

But the white people, focussed only on short-term victories at
the expense of losing the total war, fail to even try to listen
to our "recovery" methods.

 RM> The governor-general was not able to
 RM> speak then, but his wife helped.

This theme is very common in white folklore.  The whites seem so
very unaware that one of the most severe disabilities can be
treated outside of the "happily-united" nuclear family.

All the books that I have read about brain-damaged people
recovering from their disabilty, have been written by happily
married whites, usually with an extremely stronge religious dogma
(obsession?).
