I like the photograph idea of the car. I wish I could take a video of walking to the appointment like hansel and gretel. I have walked around for 30 minutes using my car alarm looking for my car many times.

This has been so hard-to be relatively young and yet to have such an impaired memory.

Mokey-you are not alone! This is just a new challenge and these are good ideas to help us along. I have learned a lot of new ideas here, as always.

I feel like we could publish a really great book on best practices on how to live a best life after pcs/mtbi.
