По наводке аввы рассказ человека, который временно поглупел из-за хронической недостачи кислорода в мозге:...this made me forgetful, slow, and easily overwhelmed. In short, I felt like I was stupid compared to what I was used to, and I was...
However, once I got used to it and resigned myself, it was great.
Even though I knew I had a worrying illness, I was happy as a pig in mud.
I no longer had the arrogance of being frustrated with slow people, I abandoned many projects which reduced a lot of stress, I could enjoy films without knowing what would happen, and I became amazingly laid back and happy go lucky.
I got on with people much better.
I developed much more respect for one of my friends in particular who I always considered slow - it turned out he is much deeper than I thought, I just never had the patience to notice before.
You could say I had more time to look around. The world just made more sense.
The only negative, apart from struggling to perform at work, and having to write everything down, was that I no longer found sci-fi interesting - it just didn't seem important.
Как-то так, да.
