I haven’t had a TIA but I do know about forgetting things and being muddled. For me it is from the stress of trying to do too many things at once. Like you, in the past I could juggle many things at once. But no more. I have an Apple Watch and the level for stress should be at least 80 but it usually shows in the mid 70’s. I try to remember what I did the day before to understand what impacts it. Meditation is recommended for stress but I can’t seem to get into the routine but after reading this post I will make more of an effort. You continue to inspire me.

Your mapping plan sounds really good. While I do not share your medical experience I have discovered that "fuddling" occurs during stress situations. When I discover a fuddle or oops I've trained myself to say/think something along the lines of "Good catch" or "I remember..." instead of "Oh! I forgot..." when I go back for the item or pick up the chore.

Wishing you continued success and good spirits as you proceed!
