Had the second half of my neuro-psych exam this morning and I can't remember anything. It absolutely frightens me that I move around in public with a brain like mine. I can still nivigate my way home without getting lost, but I know the day is coming when Mo will have to call the police to search for me because I didn't come home from the grocery store. sigh! What do you do when you can still walk and talk, but you can't remember something your spouse just said to you? It's terribly devastating to look perfectly healthy to those around you and not to be able to do simple tasks when needed. I hate the looks that I get from others!!! I feel like such an idiot. It's embarassing to leave the house some days. Am I destined to sit here at home forever because it's too dangerous for me to go outside by myself?

I too know what you going through I drove my son to my daughters basketball game , I worked in the conncesion stand he came up to me a little later to buy a a snack and I asked him how he got there! he was so confused and I asked him if Dad brought him he said that I did and I truly thought he was joking and that it was not funny (scared the hell out of me) when the Lady next to says that she saw me bring him to the school! I felt horrible we sat with the kids and told them that if it ever happends again to take my cell phone and call Dad right away, and even now when I am driving or going out I pray that I can remember the way home. my prayers are with you
