---"royal beating"--- I really like the the way that sounds. It has a nice flow to it.

I noticed that particular error immediately; I do precisely the same thing (think one thing and accidentally type the opposite of what I meant). I can more easily see the mistakes in other's writings; I don't readily see my own errors (I've coined the condition HCE) (Holden Caulfield Errors).
I think "typing dyslexia" exists. I've noticed that I've typed words incorrectly. Usually the 2nd and 3rd, or the 3rd and 4th letter are transposed. One straight week (month?- not sure) I kept typing "the" and "they" incorrectly. (Felt like, I had permanetly unlearned "the") I kept typing "t-e-h" or "t-e-h-y". It made me madder than a wet hen. I had to mentally berate my fingers to type "the" instead of "teh". (Occasionally/sporadically I'll have problems with "their". I will type "thier". No idea why the "th", causes me so much difficulty.)

I'm glad your typing came back.
That's the best idea; avoid driving stick!!! Learning a new skill can be overly taxing, best to avoid anything that taxes you. (First rule is "do no Harm", the Hippocratic Oath is on the money.) Even if you could drive stick, there would be future problems to deal with. You could theoritically learn how to drive (and balance on a hill) and do so quite nicely. After you learn to drive stick, you'd find out the first week is the worst. After awhile, it's like riding a bike, very little thought is required. A few months later you would be having a bad night and it would be dark and rainy. Night blindness would be effecting you (no moon, lots of clouds), other cars hogging the middle of the road and you'd have some jitters. It would be hard to drive safely with an automatic. Driving with a stick shift, your multitasking ability would be pushed beyond its breaking point. Your safety would be jeopardy, as your fellow motorists.

Ok, let's pretend that. lol
-----Great to hear from you. Would you happen to be the Mr. B who has posted a couple comments in the past?-----
Yep, same Mr. B! Name comes from a MST3K short. Stands for Mr. B Natural. Watch this short video on Youtube (2 small parts) and you will never forget Mr. B again. Trust me! Watch the 15 minutes and you'll never ever forget that name. lmao
