A short first-person account (Austin woman) describing memory and attention problems she attributes to mold exposure. She recounts a conversational example where her husband noticed she frequently forgot important things and she adopted strategies (requesting eye contact) to improve recall and listening. The content appears to be a brief patient narrative about cognitive effects linked to mold.
You know, you mentioned during our pre op, when I was in Austin, that just this level of mold in my body can also affect just my brain and my ability to focus. And you asked my husband, does she have a hard time remembering things? And he. Right off that we, we had just talked about that days before, where he's like, I feel like I tell you things that are important to me, and it's just, like, not in your brain. And it. And it had gotten to a point where I had asked him to, like, make sure that I'm making eye contact with you and, and make sure that, you know, that I'm fully listening to you. And that was my attempt at trying to hopefully remember the things that he was telling me.
