I've had so much trouble with my memory that I had to semi-retire from nursing. It was never great to start with---been forgetful since my late 30s---and between my BP and the meds I take to manage it, I can't remember much of anything without sticky notes to remind me. And if the sticky notes get lost, POOF! whatever was written on them is gone too. It's a hell of a way to live.........but what other choice is there?
