It's been 8 yrs since my bleed...I was coiled and also have a Codman programable shunt because of hydro. Every morning I put my feet on the ground and yell....thank you!!!
But I forget everything....lists..things in grocery stores...what I went upstairs for...what I had for breakfast that morning. It disturbs me more than you can ever know....and yes...I am working on it. But my memory was ME....was part of what made me good at my job, and now it's gone. Shrugs....I am still here.
