Linkage
That is exactly what happened to me with the Right Unilateral. My orientation is messed up royally. I used to be able to find my way around and was great with directions. Now I just suck at it and easily get lost. I have a GPS now but also carry a detailed county map of my county and the surrounding counties. I also can't sing worth crap anymore--another right brain task. I am a "big picture" person so to speak, and that is right brain as well. That is messed up too. But so are some more or less left brain things. After all the seizure is over the whole brain. I was always good in math too and was in advanced placement math, etc. and a statistics whiz and why I could analyze the research with a critical eye. Now my math sucks too--another right brain activity. Most things are mixed brain, however, and this is why I believe my working memory is damaged as well. I am seeing a neurologist tomorrow as the thinking is I now have a seizure disorder as well, and then I will go for the neuropsych testing too. That should be more telling than the neurology exam and any medical tests.
