for many years after i got brain damage, i had almost no short term memory, and very little long term,, so i lived in what i called the "stream of consciousness",, moment to moment, it's an interesting way to live,, i am gradually recovering my memory thru a therapy called CenterPointe, i'm so happy to remember someone's name, what they said, where they live, where i put my wallet~ hope you find something to help, too~~ best wishes,, Gus
