Re: [epilepsy] memory

Craig,

Sorry. I thought you were talking about having the surgery. I
misunderstood.As for memory, mine is not very good on some things. I am 40
now, some things I remember and some I don't. I don't know if it is the
surgery that done it or age. I just try not to pay it any attention, since
there is nothing I can do about it anyway. Take care.
