A major life event happened to me in June of 2011 when a car hit my bicycle. Initially, I was not aware of the extent of the damage; however since the accident, I have continued declining. As I "recover" from old symptoms, new symptoms continue to take their place. In spite of the advice from medical professionals, I continue to hope for a full recovery.
I just caught myself in the fourth loop of deciding I needed a paper towel to clean excess oil from potatoes I was preparing to cook, then discovering there were no paper towels, then, no longer remembering why I was looking for paper towels, trying to think of something profitable I could do to help prepare the meal. Then I thought the potatoes need to be prepared... (loop again).
Finally, Jonathan (my son) interrupted me before I left to look for paper towels, asking "where are the paper towels?" With the loop broken, I was able to think about his question, and I said, they must still be in the back of the car. (They had fallen from where they were put in the car, and were hidden under a seat.) Now, all is well, until the next episode of "Living with short-term memory loss."
