Excellent point, Greg. The most frustrating thing to hear is someone saying "You already asked me that" or "I already told you". My bleed was over (2) years ago, and my short term memory is finally getting back to a reasonable level. It can be very frustrating and detremental to the recovery process when the people around you make you feel that you are not making progress. Be very supportive, as frustrating and difficult as it may seem.
Good Luck!
