Boss,
For some reason I'm thinking that long term memory tends to be unaffected by things that scramble short term memories.

You might try asking Mizz Micro for her version of some of the events which you feel were the happiest of your lives. (Reminiscing about good times might help cheer you up too.)

My oldest daughter called me earlier and wanted to know if she could take me to dinner tonight at a restarant of my choosing. Of course her mother is going along.

So we are headed for Texas Roadhouse to enjoy what Texicans produce very well: STEAKS and a little bit of oil.... lol!!

I am excited about that. I have been fighting depression lately and at times this morning I was losing the battle.

I likely am going to have to talk to my doctor.

My memory has literally got a giant hole in it and my wife and I talked about some events that happened and how I remember them as compared to what she, my daughter, and her husband said happened.

I have absolutely ZERO recollection of events post heart surgery by 3 months when I was picked up by the life squad at home from my catching hepatitis A.

I am really shocked to learn that what I remembered happening that night did not happen that way at all.. And yet in my mind what I thought happened I can replay in my recollection my version of what I went thru when I collapsed at home from that illness.

We spent an hour today going over details on that night and where I was situated when the Squad came to the house to take me to the hospital.

What miz micro told me is NOTHING I remember or have said happened. totally different completely..

So, did my mind just make this up and convince me this is the way events unfolded when I was taken to hospital andlet for a week with hepatitis and liver associated problems?
I don't know but I am a little shaken that I could have a completely different vision and remembrance of events than what actually took place..

That is a little concerning and frightening..
I cannot afford to have memory lapses for my clients and I also hope this is not the beginning of dementia either..

Should I talk to my primary care doctor about this? I will ask my son in law what his recall of events is later this afternoon to get his take.

If I have this all messed up in my mind, it makes me wonder what else I have a distortion of..

It's not a good day.. catch you all later....
micro...
