 Each day is new; my recollection of the previous day is minimal. I’m learning to adapt. |

Following a severe seizure, an MRI revealed a tumor the size of a lime in my brain. September 2019 is when this occurred. Situated one inch left and seven degrees from the center of my brain, the tumor touched the hippocampus. The part of the brain that handles language and memory. When someone wants to know how I am doing? My reply is, “Seven Degrees Left of Center”. |
| I start each day by reviewing notes from the previous day and the days before. My memory gap is about five days. Something that happens today will not be processed immediately. After five days, the memory moves from the broken short-term memory storage to the long-term memory library. The challenge is learning and adapting to the disconnect. Writing regularly helps. Reviewing and rewriting the things I want to remember. Advanced planning is also a valuable tool. Planning a task a week in advance will help process through the gap. This increases the odds I will remember what I need to when I need to. |
