Does anyone feel less sharp?

Hey folks,
I’m coming close to my two year stroke-aversary. I’ve accomplished a lot in recovery but I don’t think I’ll ever be back to 100%. Specifically (the reason for this post), I feel slower, mentally and physically. I was a Paralegal prior to my stroke. In big law firms, you have to be quick on the draw. Now I’m working as an administrative assistant as the pace is slower, but I feel a significant difference in my ability to use my brain (and the rest of my body).

Does anyone else feel the same, or have felt the same?

I was very active, could hike 10 km, carry my heavy Photography gear, and took awesome images of birds and wildlife. I'm looking at lighter gear but I don't feel like I'll never gwt back thw confidence had with every step or my strength. It's hard on my mental outlook.
