After simple dental surgery, a man lost his ability to form new memories
My memory took an absolute nosedive, not quite this severe but I have tremendous trouble, after being knocked out for a colonoscopy. I've lived in "brain fog" ever since, and my memory is a shadow of what it once was.I've gotten extremely rigorous at writing notes for myself, doing sketches which I never used to need, and otherwise compensating. I hold it together on a professional note, but personal relationships have suffered badly. I guess I need to take better notes about them, which I don't currently do.As horrific as this story is, I guess it's good to know that I'm not alone?
