Thosteson. l) The brain is damaged from stroke Dear Dr. Thosteson: My sister had a slight heart attack followed by a slight stroke which affected her left hand and right side of her mouth.

She seems to be getting better although she control.her laughing regardless of how serious the subject of conversation. She doesn like to talk to anyone for this reason. She thinks maybe her brain was damaged, although they ran a brain scan on her and the doctors say no. Could you help me to understand this problem? P.C. The brain is invariably damaged to some extent by a stroke.

The brain scan was taken, not so much to determine injury, but to detect any tumor that might be present. Apparently the scan showed a negative result. Such a scan would not show brain damage in an isolated area having to do with speech, for example. A variety of aberrations can occur in a stroke, particularly wun regard to communication, he patient might grope for words, unable to utter them. Some patients will involuntarily respond in conversation with meaningless repetition of such phrases as oh boy, oh or oh my, oh my.

In your case, the fact that improvement has been noted is a good sign for the future. It would be wise to have her checked by a speech therapist to see if further improvement in speech is possible. Meanwhile, your conversation with your sister should stress short sentences. And quite obviously, you should not chide her for her laughing. A stroke entails many months of painstaking effort in the rehabilitation stage.

You don't say how old your sister is. This would be a factor in her further improvement. But, as I say, the improvement in her hand and facial muscles is a good Whether she can get beyond the laughing would depend on the examination. Vasectomy Dear Dr. Thosteson: I have been considering having a vasectomy, pr maybe letting my wife have her tubes tied, but we have been told this can cause a man to have a greater desire for sex and maybe run after other women, and the woman to run after men.

We have a happy marriage and would not want to do anything to disrupt this. My wife talked to a doctor about it and he told her she would have to be very understanding. What did he mean bv this? T.D.C. I have no idea what he meant. But the notion that a vasectomy or a tubal ligation either increases or diminishes sexual appetite is entirely false.

If you marriage is a happy one now, nothing should change. In fact, it is not uncommon for husband and wife to actually take greater enjoyment in sex after such operations, being relieved from concerns over undesired pregnancies. Bui it can work both ways, and that is what you are probably speaking about. Parteners of an unstable marriage might well find that their newfound sterility allows them opportunity for extracurricular sex minus the fear of conception. That is another story.

Television Highlights TOI-TV In the colorful annual New York-New Jersey Regional. Tournament held in Grossinger, X.Y., the winners of the Pairs were Marietta Passcll of Yonkers and Dorothy Truscott of Riverdale, NY. A challenging puzzle was hidden in the hand held by Hast. The declarers wno played routinely were never aware that a problem was there. Those who remembered the bidding and did a little counting formed a picture of hand and earned an excellent score.

West's was with misgivings and she had good reason. Five hearts or five clubs would have been down only one a cheap vulnerable sacrifice. However, sacrifices are worthwhile only if the opponents can make their games, and in today example quite a few were not quite up to it. West cashed two high hearts and then switched to a club. Declarer won the club in dummy and led the spade queen.

When Fast cover, some declarers finessed and others tried to drop a singleton king. Either way. West won the trump king and exited with a second club. The declarers who had finessed in trumps drew the remaining trumps and the main problem was not at hand. How should the diamonds be played? Those who played either the ace or king lost the hand.

Eventually. East scored a diamond trick and the defense took four tricks for down one. The careful declarers took time out to picture hand. West had played three trumps and two clubs. Her vulnerable overcall placed her with at least five hearts which totalled It) cards.

Therefore, if a defender had a troublesome holding of four diamonds, it could only be Fast. After this painless bit of counting it was easy to find the right play. A low diamond On By Ira Corn Jr. CAPTAIN QF THF ACES was led to queen and a diamond led through Fast. East played the nine, but nothing would help.

Declarer won the trick, crossed to dummy in trumps and led another diamond to pick up the suit and the spade game as well.
