Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I have a planner and I write everything down. What will happen when I get bad enough to forget to write in the planner? My husband does this, too.

One of my friends is a retired foreign language teacher. She started teaching at a nearby community college because it is to hard to find teachers with her specialty. She started forgetting things, mostly names and proper nouns. She knew, but could not access the word. She quit the job, leaving a gaping hole in the community college's faculty. I understand her decision.
