Also wanted to add that my sister came and took care of me for a couple weeks after I had the treatments (I was an inpatient). It was good to have her around to help me remember to take my meds, to encourage me to rest, and just generally make sure I was okay.
The memory stuff was weird and unexpected---like forgetting how to get to the grocery store--but I just needed a little prompting and then it would come back. A couple months after the treatment, I realized I remember very little of my time in the hospital--couldn't remember who visited me or how I got to the hospital or how I got home. Things like that. I'd mention it to a friend who knew the answers and then I'd start to remember.
Anyway...feel free to ask any questions. I do wish both you and your sister well; I do hope this will be the start of a better period for you. My sister also suffers from treatment-resistant depression, so we have that in common too.
