Needing specific details

(Chapter 6 Living with a Memory Impairment in my book)

I have problems when details are not as black and white as my brain needs it to be. In other words, if my daughter tells me that I can go over her house any time after 9:30 am, sometimes I will need to think about this for a while. It is almost as if my brain can't understand it. Does she want me there at 9:30 or a little later? Sometimes this can drive me crazy! I know that it doesn't always happen, just sometimes. When I'm having trouble figuring it out, I will ask her for clarification and she will explain it a little better. I think that works better for my brain.
