My last surgery (right leg, varicose veins) was Feb 21...and was the worst case he'd ever worked on. I had two rounds of oxycondin and mega therapy to get my leg size down to where it would fit in a compression stocking. I had fallen the week before hand and injured my ankle (same leg) and that hasn't healed all the way. It seems in the past I had broke it and didn't know it. I have a floating bone fragment that has to be taken out so I can walk with out problems. The next surgery will be in early June/Late May to do a touch up and extract the bone fragment.

The memory problem is with short term, and with people's names. I can still learn things but have a heck of a time remembering appointments, what I am supposed to be doing all day or where things are unless they are something I have done multiple times in the past.

I am forgetting and having to take a day or more to remember the names of people I have known for a long time. I can tell you everything about them, (birthdates, conversations, even bits of telephone #'s, but not their names...) it is so frustrating. Well this has happened before, should be better in a few months again...it gets harder and harder to 'fake it' to people around me.

I am also reading, having memory problems lately. Just being a slug and recovering from surgery. I am healing well but it makes my mind mushy and sometimes it is hard to connect the dots:) I do read the posts. It is good to know you are there.
