It’s a major accomplishment for a kid to master the art of shoe-tying. It’s a fundamental ability we acquire early on as we develop our fine motor abilities, and it’s one that most of us use on a regular basis even now. But suppose your brain arbitrarily purged that talent from your system.
We all forget things from time to time, like where we put our keys or the proper phrase to use, but it’s unusual to completely lose a fundamental talent. The OP’s experience of waking up unable to tie their shoes was akin to that of a video game character whose whole memory had been erased all of a sudden; it was not a nice one.
