My mem is ok I think, even though I would give it a 1 on the 3 scale being the best, I do take that into consideration for what the cause of it is, I also take into consideration my age condition and the meds and other stuff etc that has happened to me, some people do ask me about if I remember certain things and events, like my sister in law did last night, I said no, I don't have a photographic mem or the one I had growing up with, but I am ok with the one I have and what it does considering… read more

I have had 3 brain surgeries and my memory is the best it has ever been. They call me Rainman. I know EVERYONE'S birthday. My family and friends. You only have to tell me once. I can do that because I associat numbers with certain things. Like today is 9/22.. I have two friends who have a birthday tomorrow. Tomorrow is 9/23. It is easy for me to remember because Michael Jordan wore #23.

I don’t think my memory has changed. I use my phone to write notes about anything I need to remember. I do think bcse I’m not working anymore I tend to forget what day it is. All the days blend into one. I remember all the birthdays I need to.

It's a bit of a funny one. There is some stuff that I'm really good with then there are others that I'm just hopeless at remembering. I would say it's probably better than it was though.
