A few years ago, I suffered a severe headache that lasted 7 weeks. A neurologist placed me on Topamaxx, and within two days the headache was gone. Sadly, so was the part of my brain that had any language skills. Anomia, aphasia, and a few other disabilities like the inability to recognize faces set in. For a writer and a teacher, it was devastating. It's taken me 5 years, and not all my skills have returned. Scary!

Interesting for me in Anu's discussion today is the word
"agelast" for someone who never smiles/laughs. I had a father
like that. Tell him a joke and he'd just sort of snicker
with a tsk-tsk sort of noise. I never heard him belly laugh
his entire life. Now I know that sort of thing does exist.

You write well again. It's sort of fun to pretend/play that things, objects are wordless but it must real scary when you loose the capacity to name them.
