Oh well. Memory loss is a fact of life for those with TBI- and they live with it day in and day out. We help them with drugs, calendars, alarms, phone calls, friendly neighbors ect...those who end up out in the community that is. Some never get that far though. It really sucks.

My heart goes out to those with brain injuries--especially to those who have sustained such wounds in the service of our country. “Short term memory loss lasts forever.
