Question
6 months ago my husband had a fall and fractured his C1 & C2.  He had a halo on for 3 months (no surgery).  My question is this - Is it possible that this head trauma could have affected his memory at all?  He is 76 yrs. and we are finding a distinct memory loss, or is this just a coincidence.  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Dear Reet,   First let me tell you how sorry I am to hear of your husband's injury. And if there was head trauma it could cause some memory loss. But your doctor would be able to give you a more definitive answer. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
      Ken
