I'll get caught up on reading that thread again. I haven't looked for a couple of weeks.

I kept journals of my mom's health care and complications over the years, which helped put things into perspective.

And with my own injuries and complications I've been doing the same, although now it's very shorthand using my smartphone. I use Google calendar and Keep for most notes. Helps when the nurses and doctors ask questions. I've also enabled Google tracking by default to my private timeline, so I have a record of my medical visits and related stuff (trips to pharmacies, etc.). It's also a safety thing -- if I'm unconscious and can't remember how a collision or injury occurred, I don't need to rely on Strava or other activity apps. It's all automagically recorded by Google. This helped confirm my version of the collision that busted up my shoulder in May. While I was never unconscious, stress and pain can cause inaccurate memories, so it was helpful to have an independent and objective recording device that confirmed what I remembered.
