On Memory Loss and Recovery

 After long Covid, I developed serious memory loss. I would forget the morning by evening and the evening by morning. It was a happy place.


Last week, my son shared that this memory loss is affecting him. He worries about me.


Yesterday, I got into a casual chat that turned out to be a 90-minute discussion with some important decisions. Obviously, there was no notepad in the hand and no notes.


At midnight, i documented every single decision made in that meeting from memory. More than 20 decision points. This week, I also remembered most things from long term and short-term memory.


Within a week, the brain learnt to remember better. I am nowhere near my photographic memory of pre-Covid, but it's getting better at an amazing pace.


The human mind works in surprising ways.
