Thanks for your reply and encouraging comments, but when I say I have no short term memory I mean that I won't remember what you just said to me, what I have just done, whether I've eaten, let alone what it was and if I enjoyed it! It's the same as it was immediately after my head injury. I spent 2 weeks "asleep" in rehab. When I "woke up" I had no memory of any of it. It is just like being asleep and when you wake up you can't remember anything. Not even your dreams.
My general memory is getting steadily worse. I do write myself cryptic notes to remind me of things, but then can't remember what they mean! My husband is very patient with me but does get irritated when I can't remember holidays etc. The difference is that if he reminds me of what we did and describes the place I can then remember.
My main concern is that other people seem to associate poor memory with stupidity and often bypass me and talk to my husband. My doctor has actually done that! "And how is your wife"!
