[epilepsy] Re: what do I do about memory loss



Lynette,

Last week I saw David M. Bailey sing in Elk Grove Illinois. He had (has) a brain tumor, was told he had 6 months to live. 12 years later he is still writing songs, traveling and singing and giving support writing and singing new CD's. Look up his name on Youtube to hear his sings sung my him. His songs I can relate to allot. When I saw him last week spoke with him for just a second, met others with epilepsy or had brain tumors who suffered having seizures. Take a look at his Youtube songs sung by him. His CD's are also available. Look up his name to also find his web site! I'm so glad I saw him sing this past week!!! I've been suggesting to people to hear his songs since first hearing of him in the epilepsy group called epilepsysurgerygroup1. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

If I loss track of words or conversation; "Brain fart" is my response and the thought finally comes.  Then I can respond.  The harder I try to recall the longer it takes.  Keeping my calm works best for me.

Which in turn makes what we say a little more difficult for others to understand what we are trying to speak about (smile). I'm an expert at causing others to stare at me looking like they haven't a clue what I tried to say (smile)! Take care, keep a smile on your face!
