A written record of an event with dates is what makes it assessable later, and memory reconstructs sequences that did not happen.
The number is defensible. The precision I gave it is not.
This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.
A written record of an event with dates is what makes it assessable later, and memory reconstructs sequences that did not happen.
The number is defensible. The precision I gave it is not.
The most useful contribution to this subcategory is a completed account: what happened, what was done, and what the outcome was.
Everything in post #121 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.
Nothing here is medical advice, and in this subcategory the phrase is doing more work than in any other on the site.
If that is already documented somewhere, ignore me and link it.
