Do I tell my new boss / employer? I've been at my new Jon less than 2 months.
After having some similar symptoms from when I had a stroke 5 years ago, I went to the ER. They did tests including a brain scan and have found I have a deteriorating brain vessel condition. I was fortunate to not have any real distinguishable signs from my stroke, so my employer doesn't know I've had a stroke. My boss knows I was at the ER as I left during work.

After having some similar symptoms from when I had a stroke 5 years ago, I went to the ER. They did tests including a brain scan and have found I have a deteriorating brain vessel condition. I was fortunate to not have any real distinguishable signs from my stroke, so my employer doesn't know I've had a stroke. My boss knows I was at the ER as I left during work.
I oversee a portfolio of properties. These symptoms do interfere somewhat with my work - memory, word-finding, multi-tasking, and they will not improve. I already use ways to "keep on track" with work tasks from my stroke, but now things are worse.
I'm thinking about asking if there is a different type of position I could still work in, but leery of divulging everything. The company is fairly new and structuring roles a little differently than my past typical property management experiences. If you've made it this far, thank you for the read, and any advice greatly appreciated.

What do you all use for keys? I’m working with a company that has metal keys, one master for the entire portfolio and has not been at all strict about who gets a key. I’m recommending they change locks and reduce the number of doors each master unlocks, switch to fobs, or use key pads. Any strong feelings about one system over another?
