You will be OK. Everyone experiences word retrival issues at one time or another when presenting. Make notes to yourself and have a calming word on the side of your notes. I write "breathe" and "slow down" on my notes. Practice out loud, even if you know your stuff. That way if you have a lapse your brain will move to some part of it. I also use reminders in my outline, just in case.
It all sounds so frustrating. I was lost last summer on my way to somewhere I'd been a million times. I was actually afraid I was getting alzheimer's. But then I stopped and considered my stress levels and how many things I had on my mind, no wonder I got lost! Don't be too hard on yourself. Recover takes a long time. And you are so good at compensating.
It isn't easy, nor fair. But it is what it is. You are still you. Take good care.
