Memory Loss

It's been 10 months since I was in hospital. For the most part I've been stable with a few minor glitches. I find my energy level goes up and down a lot especially if I've done something physical, the next day I can barely get out of bed.
I'm finally starting to get a little bit of work from contract. I do desktop publishing from my home on a contract basis with one company. I'm finding that I lost a lot key commands while I'm working, I find myself just staring at the screen because I can't remember the commands to do a certain function. I have to scroll through all the menus to find the one I'm looking for. I know it's been a while, but these I know like the back of my hand. I know eventually it should come back, but it's frustrating.
This memory loss wasn't the only time, on several occasions I've thought its September. It's June. I'm thinking that September is when I went into hospital. Maybe there is a connection. I also never know what day of the week it is, that's frustrating. I attribute all of this to the medication, but I don't know if it also was the trauma I went through. If anyone else wants to share their memory loss story, please feel free.
