I'm in the Emergency Room for Severe Short Term Memory Loss

Journal by MichaelDavidCrawford

Saturday night I forgot to call 9-1-1 but my brother in law figured it out then told me

Increasingly severe Broca's Aphasia in my writing since Sunday morning. By 11:00 AM could not write intelligibly. That same Broca's was in my speech starting noon today, grew in severity then subsided just now.

In early 2011 I was completely unable to remember the name of the lover I had during the summer of 2010. She and I weee very close but I would never had a clue until my mother told me

Since 2014 I've been able to remember what happened since happened yet have never had a clue as to _when_.

This morning I made a truly awesome sandwich for lunch then when I got to work totally forgot about it. Remembered it when I got home but was stymied by why it was not in my bag

Left _all_ of my medicine as well as my wallet at work when I left mudafternoon today. This was the very first time I've ever forgotten my wallet.

    I remember just fine that there's something I must say such as telling my nurse that I just had my kidney out

    But I'm completely unable to Remember that I just said it

    The ER isn't going to be able to do anything other than to ensure that it's not a life threatening condition.

    But all of these together would likely identify my diagnosis to a neurologist. When I came here I was hoping I would be admitted to this hospital's neurology ward
