My brain feels like it never 100% recovered from 2 head traumas within 6 weeks a year ago. Not concussed at all anymore, recovered well from surgery and didn't die or get paralyzed, for which I was at a very high risk level, so overall happy - just feel a step slower still. Hope you are doing better, whatever that is for you.

So damn annoying! Usually I remember right after walking away, but sometimes I make it back to my "seat" before I remember. I trek back and forth across my house a lot. Getting old sucks!

The memory is kept in a small handheld communication device. One or two taps on the interactive screen accesses the required information.
