I just wondered if there are any other M patients that still suffer from

Dear Julie,
I am a 24 year survivor and suffer from short term memory loss as a result of brain surgery.  It has gotten progressively worse with repeated surgeries.  So, I can definitely empathize and sympathize with you. 
Sometimes it's very embarrasing.  But I have developed my own ways of somewhat masking it in public.  For example, if I am speaking and lose my frame of thought, I will ever so casually change the subject by saying something you supposedly forgot to say.
