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….
