I found this video very interesting. I have heard of people that have problems like this --like 10 second Tom in the movie 50 First Dates-- and I can't imagine having to live like that. To not be able to remember anything from your life more than 20 seconds in the past would be awkward, and very confusing.
I also felt bad for Clive's wife, Deborah. She saw him multiple times a day, but he thought he was seeing her for the first time each time she walked in. He would also argue with her about his journal- that he never saw it before, and he would sometimes acknowledge that it was his handwriting, yet sometimes he wouldn't. I can't imagine being in either of their shoes, but I think if I were Deborah it would feel good to know that, although he doesn't remember anything, he stills knows that he loves you.

I also felt really bad for his wife knowing that your hasband doesn't remember who you really are. You know that he loves you because he can remember that you are important in someway, so that's a good thing but it must be really really hard. I don't think I could live like Clive either, you think I get confused now, imagine if I didn't remember things and if someone was talking to me and then left the room, came back and then talked to me like I should know them. I would be SOOOOOOOO confused.
