roadrunner,

Your are in good company. The word finding is very common. Your relapse after the conference is to be expected. I am surprised it was only three days. I can be down for a week.

I can picture the word as an image but not get the word to become a word at my mouth. Sometimes, I can actually see the word in my head but can't get my mouth to say it.

Sometimes, the signals are not there. You need to look back at what you were doing and next time, stop sooner.

And, your daughter is most likely right. She sees you from the outside, not from the inside of an injured brain. The injured brain is prone to understating the negative and overstating the positive.

Try to adjust for this by stopping at 50% of where you think you should stop. It will impress your daughter.

My best to you.
