degrading memory?

[Dreamscapes Collectives]

Funny, we find this post from our system from over a year ago to find they were having the same problems we are! In some ways that makes us feel a little better. In some ways not so much so. We discovered we have a form of brain damage that comes from lack of oxygen to the brain in excess of five minutes. two separate doctors at two different hospitals dx'd it. both said the damage looked like it had been there for some time, but they couldn't judge how long and both heavily suggested we see a neurologist.

haven't managed the neuro yet, mostly because our insurance sux, but we did some reading on the kind of brain damage and the location and apparently impairment of short-term memory is one of the things that can happen. Along with a host of other things most of us have wondered about for more years than we care to count.

so we have a lot of crap working against us in the whole lack of short-term memory. XP It's just nice to know it's not just us new folks.
