On October 15, 2014, Nikki Pegram, a woman in Northamptonshire, England, went to a doctor's appointment. Afterward, she fainted, hitting her head on the floor and suffering a head injury.She's woken up every day since then believing it's still October 15, 2014. The condition is called anterograde amnesia, and it interferes with the brain's ability to form new memories. Her partner, Chris Johnston, gives her a diary to read each morning—like a real-life iteration of 50 First Dates—to recap the past year of her life. "She lives her life on a day-to-day basis—she doesn't know what she did yesterday, last week, last month," Johnston told the BBC.
