I'm at my best when I have a challenge so today I've set myself a tough target - this afternoon I'm going to work.
Doesn't sound like much, eh? I need to drive on a motorway, get off at the right junction and remember my way around the small town where the office is. Mix in the fact that I can't remember where I'm going and there's your challenge.
I'm taking Evie's Satnav along in the car with me but I'll only use it if I get lost, other important things like when I took my pills or what days things are happening on are getting written down methodically (on my hand and calendar respectively) after I found reading my own internet posts helped prompt my memory.
I'm getting much better, I can remember most of yesterday and I think I can recall some moments from Sunday before the accident - though they feel like trying to remember something from five years ago. It's all in there somewhere!
