Hi Ellie,
Take my word my short term memory has really gotten bad since I've had my two surgeries. My epi told me that they saw where the hippocampus on the RTL had gotten hard and shrunk from yrs. of absence and cp sz. so they removed the right hippocampus. There are often times when I will ask my husband the same question 2 or 3 times like what does he want for dinner?
My epi and neuropsych told me to do word search puzzles and crossword puzzles to help better my memory. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
