My short-term memory has surely gotten worse over the years since my procedure back in the early 1990's, but I feel that a lot of it is because of my own actions.
For me, I guess I became afraid of not being able to remember ANYTHING, so I wrote way-too-much. I overreacted and wrote things unnecessarily, so much that it interfered with the day; I'd just stop and want to write something if I felt it was important to remember.
I'm better now and not as afraid. I keep & recommend a digital voice recorder; if it's hanging around my neck and I need to remember something, I'll just switch it on and record what is needed.
The neurologist said that it's good that I use that.

It is apprehensive since it makes me wonder how much worse is this going to get and is there anything I can do to change this. Your experience or opinion would be meaningful. Thanks.
