It was thick, and yes I think perfectly clearly now. I have some lingering short term memory issues, but they're not constant and I'm not done with treatment yet.
The best thing to do is learn coping strategies till you get through it. My kids would leave me sticky notes in the morning with where they would be after school. That way I could check the notes throughout the day.
If they needed a ride, they would let me know 30 min. before we left, then again about 10 min. before .... sometimes I'd still forget and they'd come get me when it was time to leave.
Everything I bought at the grocery was from the list. It was impossible for me to remember even one item. In the beginning it was impossible for me to navigate the store at all, but eventually I could go through the list in order (so it took me forever), then I got back to normal where I could shop the list out of order according to where things were in the store.
So, look at what you need to do and how you can best cope with your shortcomings. Eventually with proper treatment, the fog will lift and you will think clearly again.
