Short Term Memory

I try to explain what my short term memory is like. I do a lot walking around in rooms without knowing what I was there for to start with which gets me responses like: "Oh I do that all that time." I had to think about good examples so here's a couple that will explain it better.

Example 1:
Ronnie and I purchased some fresh fruit and veggies from a stand today. We had BLTs tonight with the awesome tomatoes and I wanted to have something really good tomorrow night with the other vegetables. We chatted a little about what meat I might eat and I decided I'd be very happy with just veggies. With that Ronnie decided he'd cook some chicken quarters on the grill for himself. All done and we went on.
A couple hours later I'm drooling over the veggies and trying to figure out what to have with them that would be really good for dinner tomorrow night. Ronnie comes in and I ask him what would be good with the veggies. I get the look. He calmly says "honey, remember we talked about it. I was going to cook chicken quarters and you were going to cook the new potatos and squash."

Example 2:
Yesterday I did Wii Fit for 20 minutes and walked out to get the mail. I was tired, very tired. So Hank and I crashed on the couch for at least a couple hours maybe longer.
We finally got up and I was thirsty. I walked into the kitchen for some water. I took a look at the counter and saw mail on it. I wondered if Ronnie had gotten the mail today thinking the mail on the bar was from yesterday. Thinking about it a few minutes I finally figured that yes, I had checked the mail and that was it on the counter. But for a while, I had no idea that I had already checked the mail.

So my crazy memory is a little different than just forgetting what you were going to do.

Tomorrow I'm going back to Duke for the neuropsych testing. I'm really nervous but I'm sure I'll get through it.
