“I have lost myself. Literally.

“Late last year, a neurological disorder (Hydrocephalus, for the
medically inclined) robbed me of cognitive abilities and 27 years
of memories, personality, and emotions.

“Skills can be re-learnt, and it’s surprising how little of what
we “are” is a skill, voluntary or involuntary. I have re-learnt the
language I work in, and re-acquired the technical skills to
re-align with my old profession of a technical wordsmith.
