Is the brain fog you describe something to do with you aging (becasue of many of us your fitness is better than most and certainly better than mine) but i have heard a number of people complaining about brain fog, are varying ages, more than I can remember growing up.
I imagine you do get foggier as you age, but no, I think this was a response to trauma. I do recall the nurse telling me I'd need to take it easy for a few days because an op that big was a 'major trauma'. But I am a manly man and so I placed fists on hips and roared with laughter at the very idea of it. Then I went ouch-ouch-ouch because of the 81 stitches in my face. And then the fog descended.
I mean people in the know point out that trauma is cumulative, but you don't really understand that until something like this happens. You probably could have laughed off the 81 stitches in your face in your 20s, when you were young and relatively trauma free, but in your 50s you go through something like this and computer says no for a week.
I had brain surgery on March 6th to correct a congenital issue with one of my blood vessels, and the “brain fog” from the anesthesia still affects me. My doctor told me it’s like recovering from a grade 3-4 concussion. I’ll return to work in Mid-May, I hope.
It’s been a rough recovery, but there should be no further issues.
Next thing you know, instead of falling over, you'll have had a fall.

Man, getting old sucks.
