My beautiful broken brain

Saw a netflix documentary about a 34 yr old girl who had a brain hemmorage stroke. Her main deficit was how it affected her language.  Not being able recall what something was called.  And re-learning how read and write.  Some of the videos she takes of herself, she is spacey. I find myself in that state often, especially at home.  But in a strange way I am calm and at peace when I am like this. Sometimes thoughts come in and out, sometimes I just zone out and just look at things.  I think I go through this more whenI am tired.  The main girls says something about how theres an obsession with recording things as your memory declines.  So true.  There are times I don't think about my stroke, more because other things are there, like my neck thing or just stressed about a bunch of things.  Its been on my mind again lately, and I think about how that has changed me.  And how I feel weaker, and older.  And I wonder if David even is aware of these things, and understands this is the new me or rather just thinks that I am more of an annoyance and a more difficult person to be around.
