I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What’s my blood type?
Wife asks “remember when I had strep last year?” No…
Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?
I forget vacations we took, what states I’ve been to.
Terrible at remembering people that I’ve met even a bunch of times.
Horrible at work. I’m on top of what’s happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.
It’s really frustrating living like this, but I don’t know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.
I always, always, always open with “I am VERY bad with names so please forgive me if I have to ask again next time. … no, yes, I get that you think you’re bad with names too, but you don’t understand.” Okay, admittedly, I only think that second part.
I do that too, but I still feel terrible because I can’t remember if this is one of the people to whom I said that!
