Hi
dawnpereda@dawnpereda
I may help you as a reader and not as a professional surgeon, As you said you did a surgery and post op you come face to face with what you said ( I am desperate...) which means for me a hard feelings and actions accompanied every day life activities. I hope you become better and better. What I can say but you do not have to follow, many steps might improve short memory: 1. change your work shift time. 2, take (after checking with your doctor) some allowed drugs that sold over the counter to improve short memory. 3. try to improve your meals (how it is cooked and what includes).4, look at the persons with similar age who have same problems in their short memory and learn from their therapies. I wish you great life!
