dumb and dumber
Sat, 09/22/2007 - 19:15I have read about people having a hard time finding the right words to say and getting tongue tied a lot but what about just doing really stupid things. I was sitting in my car yesterday with my headphones on listening to a cd and each time the song was over and I wanted to replay it I would reach for the radio dial on the car instead of the button on the walkman. This happened over and over again. Either my short term memory is totally kaput or something else is going on.

I have noticed some of the same things since I started having seizures again. I know what I am trying to say, but it comes out all wrong. I cannot stand it when that happens. I work on the switch board at my office. I have done that quite frequently lately. It is kind of embarrasing. But, I guess I will have to learn to deal with it.

I get frustrated when I try and dial a phone number but I can't make my fingers press the buttons my brain wants to.
