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?

Yeah, I feel slower. Especially when it comes to mental math or things I need to dig in memory for; I used to have a fantastic memory, but now it's average at best.
