Recovery

Fellow coma victims, once again I dwell on recovery. I think one of the best things to do is to keep a calendar or diary for memory. I’m keeping a Google calendar on my iPhone in which I religiously record my activities present and future. I often use it to remember what I did yesterday or any day. I suspect that the use of technology in this way helps quite dramatically, outsourcing memory. Just the act of remembering to update a calendar helps, and through your records you can admit that these events actually occurred. Clearly we must make use of the memory function in the brain regularly, to clean out the cobwebs. I use the calendar to recall what I had for dinner almost everyday, and to check if my recollections are accurate. Indeed they have improved and are back to normal now, maybe three months ago I had no idea what I had for dinner last night.
