    Gina - I agree. I still have the original mri's from my car injury to current. I also get as much of the doctor's records as possible at certain intervals .. and I have to write down events , otherwise I do tend to get confused.

     

    Sometimes I even go in to any of the doctors I see, lol, with a notebook with a page of questions, so I remember to ask them .. it helps me to keep focused on why I am there . So when they are done with the exam, I pull out my little notebook and just start from the top.

     

    I do keep a separate journal also, which when I read it , I come up with questions .. does that make sense ? lol
