| | I would be driving down the highway
|
| That's my loss and why I'm writing this

| |
| | up I would have a flash of panic because
|
| In 2001 I was working in Minneapolis at a
| |
| | I couldn't remember which direction to
|
| company that sold cell phones. I started
| |
| | go. I knew where I wanted to go but I
|
| in April of 2001 and quit in October of
| |
| | couldn't remember how to get there.
|
| 2002. Part of the reason why I quit was
| |
| | Figure eight exits would drive me
|
| because the cell phones were becoming too
| |
| | bonkers. I'm like that with a lot of
|
| complicated for me. We sold all the
| |
| | things these days. I get the big picture
|
| major brands of phones. I remember going
| |
| | of what I want to accomplish but I can't
|
| to meetings that the cell phone companies
| |
| | seem to figure out how to get from point
|
| would have once in a while. I would sit
| |
| | A to point B. It can be frustrating to
|
| in the meetings and after about 20
| |
| | say the least!
|
| minutes my mind would start wandering.
| |
| | There's an old saying that I say every

| Dick was a friend of mine at the company.
| |
| | once in a while. I'll use a substitute
|
| I'd think to myself, I wonder where Dick

| wants to eat lunch today or I'd wonder if
| |
| | generation say, throw that crap against
|
| Doug wants to come with us. On real
| |
| | the wall and see what sticks. That's
|
| important points that I missed I would
| |
| | exactly how my brain seems to work
|
| say to myself, I'll ask Doug about that
| |
| | nowadays. Nothing seems to stick. If
|
| later knowing full well I probably
| |
| | I'm with 3 or 4 people and everyone is
|
| wouldn't remember what I'd missed.

| | talking I will hear everything being said
|
| Another cognitive problem I have is short
| |
| | but nothing stays in my head. You might
|
| term memory loss. This is doctor
| |
| | as well be talking to a chair or wall
|
| documented and is a common symptom for
| |
| | because I won't retain anything the next
|
| people with MS. My neurologist sent me
| |
| | day unless it was earth shattering news.
|
| to a psychologist one day who was to test
| |
| | That can get very frustrating not only
|
| my memory. I used to be very good at
| |
| | for me but also the people I'm talking
|
| remembering the names of people. Now,
| |
| | to. I've learned to never leave home
|
| unless I repeat their name a few times
| |
| | without a piece of paper and a pen so I
|
| while I'm talking to them I just don't
| |
| | can make notes. These are just a few of
|
| remember their names. I'll remember
| |
| | the cognitive problems that I have but
|
| their faces but sometimes the name just
| |
| | there are more.
