Over a month ago, I asked what a particular chunk of code should do:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
For i As Integer = 0 To 2
Dim x As Integer
Console.WriteLine(x)
x += 1
Next
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

…life just went and got very complicated for a while. In particular:
My wife Andrea has had some strange medical symptoms over the past few months that our neurologist thought indicated pretty strongly she has MS. So the past month has been spent getting MRIs and lumbar punctures to try and narrow down the diagnosis. The good news? It’s pretty unlikely she has MS or any of the related types of diseases (RA, Lupus, etc.). The bad news? Still not sure what’s going on.
