The Watering Hole

Spent 2 days in the hospital after an afternoon at the ER, 5 hours of my Tuesday is gone and never to return..... See below.

Transient global amnesia is a sudden, temporary episode of memory loss that can't be attributed to a
more common neurological condition, such as epilepsy or stroke.
During an episode of transient global amnesia, your recall of recent
events simply vanishes, so you can't remember where you are or how you got there.

You may also draw a blank when asked to remember things that happened a day, a month or even a year ago.
With transient global amnesia, you do remember who you are,

and recognize the people you know well, but that doesn't make your memory loss less disturbing.
Fortunately, transient global amnesia is rare, seemingly harmless and unlikely to happen again.
Episodes are usually short-lived, and afterward your memory is fine.

Truth be told, I was on shaky ground when I got home until I wrapped my fingers around a guitar neck and started playing, then my fierceness/confidence came right back. Right there it makes all the years of practice worth it, and if it never yields another bonus, that is good enough for me.

freaky! sort of like a flashback.

good to hear you're ok!

Oh fuck that, must be mind bending to say the least.

Hope all is ok.

Hope that was a "one and only" for ya Dave!

(Excessive drinking and a coyote ugly woman weren't involved were they?  I'd tend to want to forget that too...  ;) )

Hooky has these all the time, but where he's from they call them "brain farts."   :)

Hope you're ok Dave.

Fuck that shit.  Man that's gotta mess with ya a bit.  Would be kinda cool to snap out of it in the middle of a hot chick.

Thanks all. For my wifeys sake I hope it is the last of that shit. It was, and still is a source of concern for me. I hope it is gone for good. Appointment with a neurologist in 2 weeks we shall see what he says. My take, "old age is a real treat" I hope y'all make it into old age safely and with all your marbles.

Too late but I'd like to keep the ones I have left...

Glad you snapped back and hopefully the 'unlikely to happen again' part is spot on.

Wow man.  Glad you are doing better Dave.  That would be some scary ass shit.   :o

Thanks, yep it is scary especially since I do suffer from memory issues like all old folks do. Since I live in a retirement community and see everyone else having the same delay in memory, that part does not scare me, but the Transient Global Amnesia sure does upset the nerves a bit.

I hope you're doing better DBM.

Ciao,

Yeah, I just wish I could forget my mother in law. ;D I'd love to brain fart that bitch out of my memory forever. ;D

Glad your ok man!!!

Thanks, so far (knock wood) I am doing well.
