Reminds me of this story from This American Life that they replayed recently about a retired physicist diagnosed with Alzheimer's who loses the ability to read a clock:

What is interesting is he is able to analyze why he has difficulty reading a clock. (As he explains, it's a surprisingly difficult problem.)
Fascinating and a bit heartbreaking. I'm happy to hear you're coping and recovering. Best of luck!
- bavell 4y agoThanks for sharing. Reminds me a lot of my grandfather who survived 10yrs post-diagnosis. Couldn't recognize his children most of the time near the end but he was a great guy and thankfully he kept most of his affable nature until he passed.
