Yes, what has happened recently is classed as a form of stroke; hemorrhagic. This was a 'bleed' rather than a clot... so what happened was that blood pooled in my brain and caused a bit of bruising. As of this past Friday's CT scan, the blood has been absorbed, most of the swelling has gone down, and there is some minimal residual bruising (edema).
But let me just assure my friends and acquaintances that my memory is functioning nearly perfectly. I still remember where all the bodies are buried, and what shoes you were wearing at the time....

Everything we see and try to understand is viewed through filters that we have each developed over time for the different scenarios and situations we find ourselves in. As we swap out our perception filters, based on our ever-changing situation and circumstance, the filters themselves become distorted through the almost constant handling. It is these marred filters which determine our view of the world... Cancer and Stroke contribute significantly to the distortion.
