Answers:
Are you sure he did not have a stroke too and it is being ignored!? Have a talk with the doctor and tell him you are not taking your father home until he finds out why this is happening and addresses the issue with treatment or therapy for your dad!.

I had 100% clot age to my right side of the heart artery 6 months ago, I do not notice short term loss, but so seem to have them days I forget chit right after told, or get up to do something and forget what I was going to do, but that is nothing out of the normal for me!.!.Just depends, But I do smoke allot of herb daily, but doubt after 25 years this is a cause of short term loss either, no matter what the so called "EXPERTS" say
