Nearly 2 years out, and I still feel that my memory is not as sharp as it once was. Although frustrating, I have learned to give myself time and patience..and things usually will come to me. I have learned to allow myself time to "chew things over" at work...no more knee-jerk response times for me. Especially if the response requires my brain to remember something from the past.

I believe that our minds have gone through quite an ordeal through this journey, and has been filled day and night at times with our Dx. I often use the analogy that my brain is like a 10" dinner plate. It can only hold so much "Stuff", and eventually things fall off the plate.

Just want you to know that you are not alone !!
