Question

Three weeks out. Is it normal to have stopped retaining anything?

Read a chapter this evening and could not have told you the subject afterwards.

Completely normal and it happened to me at almost exactly this point in June. It came back about four days later with no explanation. I spent those four days convinced I had broken something.
