  1. When it first happened to me I was 29. I got stuck mid sentence talking to my neighbour. It was the first moment of the rest of my life when I found out I'd forgotten every name of everything. I had to start relearning them all over again and it took me so long. I couldn't even remember the name of a can of beans, a vegetable, a piece of fruit. The fact is if supermarkets didn't exist I would have been incapable of shopping for myself. It was horrific. Now forty years later I can get by but I still can't remember people's names or places. Not even the next suburb or my last address. It can be so embarrassing at times. What happened? I had a epileptic seizure.
