Summary: Sherlock is assaulted by an unknown assailant while John is away at a medical conference, leaving him with a severe brain injury. While his intellect and personality are intact, he's lost the use of his right-side limbs and his ability to speak freely. John suddenly finds himself as the main source of support, and possibly a caregiver, to a flatmate who is struggling to do the things he loves most. And Sherlock Holmes has never been the best of patients.
Author's notes:

I'm going to post three chapters today, because the story flows better if these three chapters can be read together. It can feel choppy otherwise. Apologies for the spam!

Previous chapters can be found here. The page will be updated as new chapters are posted. You can also find the story at A03 and FF.net.

( John noted that Sherlock didn't have to be able to speak to get the last word.. )
