Fuzzy Brain syndrome

[Guest guest]

To all who have written, and those ready to, on this subject:

My MD explained that when the flow of blood to the brain is interrupted,

or altered due to the use of a heart-lung machine during CABG or similar

surgery, a loss of memory almost always occurs. I have had the occasion

to explain this to those with whom I am acquainted that have had surgery

or heart stoppage. In my case, after a 5x CABG following a minor MI, I

intended to catch up on my technical reading while recuperating. Wrong -

I couldn't follow the text at all for several weeks, nor understand or

remember what I read. The memory did come back in time, though, and after

14 years is about as good as it was before.

Hang in there, folks. It will get better in time.
