remembering the weirdest stuff

Having cognitive issues can be funny at times, this past week I was trying to explain MS and my current level of functionality to my cousin. In the process of explaining I couldn't remember PML  (Progressive Multifocal leukoencephalopothy) for the life of me I couldn't remember PML,  Meanwhile yesterday I was watching an old Val Kilmer movie and I recognized a character actor from the 80's, I wanted to look up the actor and I took a stab at his name William Atheron  And it turns out that I was right. I am amazed at the general nonsense that the brain can store but at the same time it can draw blanks on very important issues.
