I have tried to write myse;f notes and would forget where i left the notes. My solution is simple. I thought what was the most important items, wallet, charge cards, and my pd meds.
So what i do is i never lay the items in a different place, but always put them in a small llBean zippered bag and where ever i go i always bring the bag.
I havn't lost any of the important items since i started the habit. It's always the first place i look.
Bruce,
I do the same with Bill's .Of course he is unable to know where anything is.I have one that goes over the head.They have them at the luggage department.We never go out with out them.But I made copies of them that is what he carries.
Ruth and Googy, before i adopted this procedure, i would lose my car keys and wallet many times. It got so serious thst i had to do something. It cured the problem.
Short term memory loss is a bad one for me at the moment.
I can't remember whether I've taken my tablets or not. One example is that I was just looking for my Sinemet bottle, found it, put it down to go on to the Internet and now cannot remember whether I took them or not.
My solution is to make up a chart with my medications written on it. It stays on my desk and as soon as I take the tablets I tick it for that day. I make myself go to the chart and tick it, I have too. I'm on 10 medications for different things and I can't afford to overdose obviously.
Does this go away, or does the memory loss stay?
To Bruce and Googly your posts are priceless for information and sympathy.
