Re: [epilepsy] Short and long term memory

Steve,

I had the surgery and I have noticed not being able to remember things at
times, especially things before the surgery took place. It is hard to
explain though. I can read a book or watch something on tv and not remember
much about it. I don't care whether I watch tv or read anymore. I do want to
learn new things though. Just because I might not remember how to do it, at
least I can say I done it at one time.If you keep doing something over and
over for a while you won't forget. If you want to remember something write
it down.there may be more than surgery to blame, it might be our age as a
factor. I don't know. I never paid any attention until after I had the
surgery. But I am definitely glad I had it done. As long as am able to learn
something new,that is something to look forward to. Take care.

Tammy
