When Accidents Happen

Last night I had an automobile accident. I hit a deer -- a very typical occurrence in "our neck of the woods." I didn't have to call the police to the scene and reported it this morning. However, when asked "where did the accident occur?" I could tell the officer what highway, but exactly where .... I don't know. How fast were you going? Don't really remember, but of course I said within the speed limit.

Doesn't it bite that everything just blends in, so that when we need to remember facts, we can't? Or is it just me?

Hamster, hang in their because it's not just you. I get worse if I have to tell someone some information because my mind goes blank. My husband is used to it also. He helps me remember things that I can't right down. Here to say: You are not alone.

I don't know what I would do without my wife guiding me. I forget the smallest things going from one room to another. I have to stand there until I remember why I went into that room in the first place, sometimes I have to leave and enter several times before I remember what or why I needed to go therein the first place.

Thanks

Whew! While I'm glad it's not just me, I wish none of us had to deal with it. Oh well, I try to look at the good side -- when I can't remember the facts, I can tell a pretty good story! : )
