For someone who has decades of experience but was knocked down by severe seizures that slowed him down, do you think any manager would consider hiring me for a non critical position at lower pay?

I've gone through cognitive rehab,but honestly am not where I used to be. I'm thinking something like my time spent integrating code after bank mergers - nothing sexy, nothing expected overnight, but workhorse plodding would be an asset.( I've done a lot more, but thought this would be an example where someone would consider my experience more important than speed.)

When I speak, it's obvious I've had a cognitive setback, but the knowledge is still there. However I'd fail live tests.

I really miss programming and my half pay since my seizures was not enough to sock away retirement money.

In this environment, I feel foolish to think I would ever be hired again, but wonder if there's a place I'd fit.
