Cerebral Vasculitis short-term memory

I've had Cerebral Vasculitis which I classify as being cured? But it did cause damage to my short-term memory, spatial awareness and concentration which will never be cured and causes a few problems like getting lost and constantly forgetting things. Is this happening to others with other survivors of Cerebral Vasculitis and how you getting around it.

There’s different types of s-t memory from different areas of your brain. I don’t know what area was effected but if you can tie an emotion or sensation to an event you’ll be more likely to remember it. Most brain injury patients have the spatial issue and I am Queen of the U turn in my car. Don’t let anybody tell you it stops getting better. As long as you keep trying it keeps moving forward somewhat. However I’m still making U turns!
