Thank you, I'll be sure to do that! I will probably leave myself some more notes with passwords, what I'm doing at work, people I need to contact, and so on.

I tell you this so that you can warn your family and avoid the fear and pain. Family relationships are important enough that they will come back even when other elements are lost to amnesia.

I have mentioned the possibility to her, though I don't know how she'll react if it actually happens. Did that part of the amnesia last long for you? I'd also hate to forget the birth of my kids and stuff like that, or for that matter, failing to recognize my kids. I'm also a bit worried because we're moving to a new house just before the (suspected) start of the ECT. I wonder if I'll remember where I live.
