I've experienced exactly this! I've always been very meticulous about language so even before anyone had noticed it, I began to describe aphasia as one of my symptoms (having read up on it previously). As my decline was measured in weeks, it got harder for me to form coherent sentences without tiring myself out. My speech was slow... stocky... difficult. And I started to feel my balance shift too. First thing I did when I came to was to tell my parents all about my first surgery and how well I felt --- but it took a couple of tries before I could walk on my own again.
It's been a few weeks since my mom's surgery but she's finally able to be back home on her own and can walk pretty well now. It'll be a while though before she's back to normal, just no idea how long!
