“As good as you ever were” is sometimes a positive diagnosis.

And sometimes you have to learn how to walk again, and you find out you were doing it wrong in the first place. This has been a very educational experience. CL was one of my ‘brain buddies’. I saw her working harder than she used to after her brain incident. She checked her facts, did her research, and worked to get the right info to the people who cared. I’m starting with taking a lot more notes to make up for the memory shortfalls. And googling words to see if they mean the same thing they used to.

(I wasn’t ‘walking’ wrong, but ‘working’ wrong in some ways. They actually couldn’t tell me anything about why I feel so funny when I walk. More focused on the cognitive stuff.)
