I forget medical info all the time. When was my last dentist visit? I dunno. Which kid had their tonsils out? What’s my blood type?

Wife asks “remember when I had strep last year?” No…

Has anyone in my house had COVID? I think so, but which one(s)?

I forget vacations we took, what states I’ve been to.

Terrible at remembering people that I’ve met even a bunch of times.

Horrible at work. I’m on top of what’s happening now, mostly, because I have notes, but what happened a year ago? Gosh.

It’s really frustrating living like this, but I don’t know how much might be my ADHD and how much is just me having a bad brain.

    Oh yeah. I’ll be complaining about this or that to my wife as things occur, and when I finally have that Dr appointment, he asks, anything else going on that’s bothering or concerning you?

    Nope! Can’t think of anything!

    Then later, I get home and she asks what the doctor said about all the things I’ve mentioned to her. 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Especially in a country where healthcare is expensive, that’s really frustrating. That always happens to me, even when I’m taking a kid to the pediatrician. If I didn’t have notes I’d be completely lost.
