Hi, my name is Walter. I use this device that beeps and flashes to assist me in finding my keys/ daytimer if I cannot find them. Here is the website: http://www.keyringer.com/. My brother gave me this after I was late to a family get together due to not being able to find my keys. I now have it attached to my DayTimer.
Best of fortune,
Cheers, Walter

it does suck to forget the simpliest things
its the little tricks we figure out that work, we just need to keep trying different things

'Short Term Memory' is a common term used to describe a side-effect of Brain Injury. As distressing as it may be, there are numerous ways to adjust your daily patterns. Calendars, Computers, Watches/Clocks and Mobile Phones are just some of the frequently used solutions. They won't completely solve this 'unexpected' side-effect, yet they are assistance that we can all go on with.

 

As Founder of this Circle Group, within the TBI Support Network - it's great to view that Survivors, Family/Friends & Carers are discussing overlapping items. Although we may drift apart from some Family/Friends, it is through discussions/networking with others that stronger understanding can be found.

"As for myself, I volunteer on good brain days.  That helps me feel productive.  With the economy the way it is, sometimes places don't even need volunteers, which hurts when your just trying to do something.  Keep on trying. David"
