It happens to all of us... More frequently as we age. 
Sure.. I had to solve this issue very recently. You'll have to adapt it to work for you, but feel free to use this code however you wish. It has basic connection recovery but might need a little more polish.

Hope this can help.
last summer, I decided it would be very cool to insert a proxy in Hubitat's Event Socket and then tap into the combined stream from multiple hubs to do logging. I prototyped it and it did what I expected.... Fast forward to Steve's return and he says he's been thinking of.. yep, a proxy for Hubitat's Event Stream. I tell him just how ironic that is to me, and in my memory it's maybe 45 mins later he's telling me he got it working.
Takes TWO of the options.
