Having sat down and read some more, I dont think I have prosopagnosia. I can't picture her face, but I can recognise/remember people by their faces.

It sounds pretty tough to live with, have you always had it?

    Yeah. It got worse after my second stroke.

    On the other hand, every time I see my wife, is the first time.

    But if I can articulate details about a person in language, I can remember that language. It’s got a poor accuracy rate, but is better than nothing. Usually it’s just remembering clothing, style, and hair.
