Chronicles of Nani - Almost Didn't Make It

Another week of things going wrong punching me in the face. BUT another week when my face survived!
It was also another week where I recorded edited and did the whole shebang on Wednesday all day and most of the night. I'm uploading and going to sleep.
Hopefully things are getting back to normal and I'll be tackling "list 2” to get my life back!

Hi Nani, I know that one of the symptoms of MS can be loss of cognitive function, but I’m so impressed by your fabulous memory! At our age we have so many memories in our brain that it really takes some digging to find them again. Many of the times that you tell a story, I find myself finding another story inside my head as well :-). We’re all so inclined to want to relive a great memory of a vacation or memorable event, but the re enactment is never as wonderful as the memory in our brain. what a gift that is to be able to pull them back up and relive them in your mind!
Thanks for the shout out as well! We all have to look out for each other🥰.

Christine, if you have to have MS, and I'd gladly just give up the whole thing but if I have to have it, I got lucky as far as the cognitive ability goes. I've read the cognitive problems are more common with RMS and less common with PPMS. Of course, with primary progressive it's much more common to lose use I love your ability to walk and dexterity in some other physical areas. I still if I had choose between my legs in my brain, I choose my brain.
I guess one of the reasons for that is I do have a really full and far back memory. I think I get that from my grandfather. He's work grandma always said I got my storytelling ability from and it's because his memory was so detailed. I remember episodes from farther back than I'm supposed to. I can even remember where I was when I watched the first lunar landing on TV. When I was casually talking to my mother in my 20s she was totally shocked. Because the first lunar landing was nine days before my third birthday.
But I also take advantage of the fact that I journal like crazy and always have and I scrapbook. And of course the good old Internet! A lot of times I don't remember exact dates and times but those are pretty easy to look up an old newspaper clippings. When a memory hits me that I hadn't thought about in a long time I write down as much of it as I can remember so I can go back and fill in dates and times later.
You've given me a great idea for a vlog topic. Memory. There is dementia in my family background and I know the grandma had things to fight that like crazy and it actually worked pretty well. It was only in the last few months of her life that she started forgetting things & she passed at 84.
Thanks for the compliments and the inspiration! -Nani
