Gosh. My visual memory is much like yours used to be. I passed a music exam I hardly studied for once because even though I didn't always recognise the written music (not having gone to many lectures or tutes or anythign that year) I couldn't help but recognise the typeface, because you could take that in at a glance. They did a whole lot of "where is this phrase from?" questions having just photocopied it out of the published version, so I didn't even have to read the music to get the answers right...
Which is to say, I understand your loss, and how huge it is. I'm not sure how I'd cope if I lost that capacity - so many little daily things rely on it, once you start to think about it. All my sympathy, and all my respect for how well you have coped.
And I'd love to see some pics of you and Lex together :)
