Short term memory keeps track of nominally seven plus or minus two items. Last year (2014) I had radiation therapy and was told by the doctor that it would take about four months to heal what ever would heal after the damage to the brain. I remember well August through November where I recognized a reduced ability to hold and remember multiple items. One odd behavior is that I would scrub the floor squares in a regular pattern instead of my normal randomly chase spots. Last week, I scrubbed the floor and noticed I was following the squares again.
To fight that problem, instead of waiting patiently, I wrote "hobby" software of a card game using a Neural Net to manage the AI. Interesting, I stopped working on it in November of last year which aligned with feeling like my short term memory was back. I restarted the software fun shortly after the radiation treatment of the second cancer. Hopefully it will work as well this time.
It's four o'clock in the morning. I slept from 10 am to about 2 am. I then laid in bed multiplying numbers in my brain. After two hours I got up and am sitting here.
Something odd is going on in this post. My spelling is very good this morning. I have not had a single spelling error so far in this post that wasn't a typo that was quickly fixed. Weird. Weird. Wierd!!! And Melody is not awake to help me. It seems ok to me :-)
It's really too early for this, but it's what I do. Here's me reading the Book of Mormon aloud at 4:44 am :-)
Today I read aloud page 335 of 531 of the Book of Mormon. Captain Moroni sent Teancum to stop the enemy army led by Morianton from taking occupation of the land northward which would be a danger to the Nephites. Those who survived the battle made a covenant to keep the peace.
