You are welcome. It is so hard when sometimes people just don’t understand. I still remember after it first happened, looking at someone at the post office who was talking really fast (the way I used to) expecting me to understand and my brain just wouldn’t process the information and how embarrassed I was when I had to ask her to slow down and explain it to me so my brain would understand. I went home and cried so many times. I finally had to accept with the help of an excellent speech pathologist (who is a blessing sent straight from God) that with a lot of hard work, recognition of my cognitive fatigue triggers, building endurance and filling my toolbox that I am yes different but capable of doing everything I did before.

I know a lot of people can get back full functionality but sometimes we can’t and have to accept a new future doing things a little differently. Hope you are making good progress with your knew beautiful self and that you know your not alone. It’s okay to grieve and sometimes I still do but I am not embarrassed to be the slower, less stressed better version of myself now, I give myself permission for it to be okay and it doesn’t make us any less worthy than anyone else.

You will be in my thought and prayers.
