Living with a memory impairment

Sept. 14, 2019 (Chapter 6 Living with a Memory Impairment in my book)

My diagnosis is mild cognitive impairment and sometimes I have problems with executive function. For example, there are times when I am in pain and I won’t do anything about it. I will not get the ice pack out of my freezer or get some pain medication to take. For some reason this has become a problem. I also have difficulty with planning and organizing, language problems and memory loss.
