Every day, Daisy wakes up next to a man,who has to convince her they are married.When she expresses doubt,he takes out a photo album and shows her pictures of their wedding 13 years ago·
Only then doesamnesiacDaisy accept that she has been married,and that everything he has told her is true.The lady’s condition was caused by brain injuries suffered in two road accidents,a motorbike crash in 1985 and a car accident in 1990.Since then everything that happens on one day is forgotten the next day.
She has no day-to-day memory after the car crash.And it is not just loved ones that Daisy struggles with.She uses hundreds of notes and reminders on her mobile phone’s calendar to keep her informed of appointments and everyday duties.And on the rare occasions when she takes the risk of going out of her home alone,she has to be armed with navigation(导航)programmed with her address.
There are some benefits,however.There is no such thing as a repeat on TV and every joke is funny, because it seemed she has heard it the first time.“It’s like I am living the same day, day after day,’’ said Daisy, who does voluntary work at a charity for people with disabilities three days a week.
Dr Peter Nestor said Daisy was suffering from anterograde(顺行的)amnesia.He added,“It is reasonably rare,but it does exist.You are able to carry out day-to-day things,and don’t forget how to do certain things like speaking.But if someone was to ask you what you did yesterday, you wouldn’t have a clue.”
