[DonnaW1955]

Had vascular surgery in September,2012, it was a ascending aortic dissection, I had a stent and graph put in, it was an emergency procedure from my understanding I was one of the "lucky" ones. I have high cholesterol so the doctor put me on atorvastatin 20 MG a day for that I am also on metoprolol 25 MG/day, lisinopril 10 mg/day.

After surgery I started getting migraine headaches daily, and starting having panic attacks again, these were problems I had when I was much younger, in my mid twenties, I am almost 58 now. So my doctor has me on 300 MG of wellebutan and 5 mg of xanax a day, the xanax is if needed. For a week after surgery I did have trouble remembering things that had happened recently, but that improved and went away within 3 months.

Now I can't remember what words to use in sentences, hoe to spell words, I couldn't remember how to turn my oven on to make dinner the other night, I'm constantly upset because I can't remember the simplest of things. Someone will ask me a question and 2 or 3 days later I can finally answer it, what is wrong with me? I'm pretty sure it is related to the anesthesia for my surgery, my age and the fact that I was a heavy smoker...I quit and plan on staying quit.
