For what it's worth I know how you feel. I had a bad motorcycle accident that left me in the ICU for a week and for which I had to get surgery to get fixed up. Since I had a history of concussions this one was particularly bad and I had trouble focusing for months. I used to have the kind of memory where I could recite sections of my VIN after entering it twice or thrice, and recite it in entirety if done a few more times. I have degrees in Mathematics and Physics with only one class where I took notes (the one I did the worst in). Now I don't have that memory, and it is comparatively debilitating.

I've compensated by using more to-do lists and notes and it has worked a lot better. The hardest part has been sticking to goals. I forget why I set goals which makes it hard to stick to procedures that achieve them. Fortunately for me, my wife is a substantial support, and because my cognitive skill hasn't declined as much as my memory I still get a lot of things done.

Good luck.
