Second year Day 278 - Tuesday September 17, 2013

When we moved into this house, I kept the laundry hamper in my bathroom behind the door (which swings 180 degrees).  Then about the time that Bridgett moved out, I moved the laundry hamper across the room, by the tub area.  After Bridgett's accident, she didn't have the long term memory of where the laundry hamper was, so she would go into the room and looked around until she found it.  This seems like a weird issue, but the bathroom is large so its a little harder to find.  Anyway, suddenly about a month and a half ago, Bridgett remembered a long term memory of where I keep the hamper, only it was from before I moved it; where it was located before she left home.  So now, she goes into the bathroom and looks where its supposed to be in her mind and it's not there.  So, she calls to me and we talk and she can't remember.  Then I tell her to go into the bathroom and look until she finds it, which she does.  Afterwards we talk about it, trying to reinforce it in her memory now.  So, finally, after all of this time, she is starting to remember.  She has to think about it, but then she remembers. So, she might still go into the bathroom and not find it, but then I tell her to think about it and then she remembers.  She still showers in my bathroom because it's more user friendly then the downstairs bathroom.
