Memories…

the down side about ECT is how it messes with your memory.? if i can’t remember all of you wonderful bloggers off the top of my head at first, please forgive me–i’m having trouble remembering the TV shows that i like, passwords to various accounts, and God only knows what else.? the good news is that this memory loss is temporary, and as long as someone helps jog my memory, i remember things almost immediately.? i would really, really, really appreciate everyone’s patience!? thanks.? :)

  3. I hope the mild memory loss is the only downside. How are you doing?

  4. I thought about you the other day, and about the electroshock therapy… and I was thinking “did they ruin her synapses?” … apparently so.

  5. I wish I would lose my memory right about now (guy problems).

    I am glad you are back and safe. I didn’t know what to expect when you got back.

  7. Short-term memory loss is something I’ve come to live with, New York and after awhile, you don’t even worry about remembering…. what was I saying Detroit. Oh never mind, it probably wasn’t important anway. Glad you’re home, and I hope it has worked for you/ ;)

  10. Ok. The guy in your house is Brian. He’s not so bad, but could be better. :)

    Glad to have you home.

  11. thanks, everyone! they didn’t ruin my synapses permanently, but it sure feels like it. well, tomorrow’s the last treatment, so ask me again in a few weeks. maybe i’ll have changed my mind by then and think, “why, yes! they did ruin my synapses!” :mrgreen:

  12. Glad you’re back and it sounded like from your message on your blog that you were okay. Actually, you sounded damned good (even though I didn’t know what you sounded like before). BUt you sounded like someone happy.

  13. Irene, I’m sorry I hadn’t yet replied to you, but if you’re still interested in working out together, I’m game.

  16. I am glad you are doing fine. I was concerned with the ECT, just don’t know a lot about it. Just sounds scarey when they go putting electricity with the brain. I hope it worked. I listened to the audio and you sound like such a sweet person. Well I already knew you were a sweet person but now I have the voice with it. You take care of you and God bless.

  17. You have been tagged by the 6 weird things tag, see my blog. I am sorry if you don’t like these but this one is kinda fun. All you have to do is list 6 things that are weird about you. I have quite a few weird things but I think I narrowed it to the strangest, lol. You take care and God bless.

  18. Glad to hear you’re doing better :D
    The memory loss will most probably be temporary, I have yet to see a patient that has serious memory impairment in the long run. *hugs*
