Tomorrow I have my annual meet with my VA doctor, and I plan on discussing this with him. I wonder, too, about some of these supplements - prevagen, and... uh, forget the name of the other... - that are supposed to help with memory. Maybe there are some cognitive exercises I can do to keep up my mental acuity. I still love sudoku (although frequently mispronounce it), and crossword puzzles.
NWP, I wonder if you might benefit from some speech therapy. There are some similarities between a stroke and encephalitis...fluid on the brain.
There are indeed exercises to help relearn some of those lost words and spelling too.
Gary's stumbles every now again aren't noticeable to other people either. He's learned to find another word or quickly self correct.
For a while he wasn't comfortable interacting with other people especially telephone calls.
Our adorable young speech therapist, Elizabeth, says crosswords and other kinds of puzzles are good exercises for memory.
I'm glad you're discussing it with your doc.
