Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 TrudyI know exactly what you are talking about!! Also, I know it is frustrating on those around us; but, not as bad as it is on ourselves.I'm a blond, so I've had an excuse for years; but, I still detest that forgetting what I was saying in mid sentence. Feel like such an idiot!! However, lots of real friends just laugh anyway and take great delight in teasing me about it.Gloria Hubby has had a cold. I'm sure he feels bad; is quite impatient with me. I hope this is simple brain fog. I can't remember what we are talking about, even tho I am in " mid-sentance " I forget. I asked his opinion on something. He gets frustrated and says we just talked about this yesterday. He goes over it again. Earlier I said something, Hubby says" It wont matter, you will take a nap and not remember anyway!". That hurt. Hell I don't have to nap to forget. I do hope this is simple brain( chemo) fog and will get better. http://facebook.com/people/andTrudy-Kinsey/1340460877 " "A well- behaved woman never made history"...Mae West http://oktravels.wordpress.com http://allrecipes.com/cook/TrudyK/profile.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I can relate Trudy... this happens to me all the time. My family has finally figured it out. I am going to ask the same question many times over the course of a few days or a few hours. Especially if it is something important. I was seen by a NeuroPsychologist several times after I finished treatment. The whole brain fog thing and my inability to multi-task was really upsetting me. I was tested several different times, all times showing brain impairment. I was tested again a year later with no changes.. actually I was worse but she chalked that up to depression. My son was having a real hard time understanding my issues and his girlfriend was filling his head with things like " if she tried she could get better " and countless other vicious barbs like that.. I threw the medical report at him and made him read every single damn word. Right there at the kitchen table, right in front of me. This was a 12 page report on my abilities and my current brain function. A couple of pages into it, the kid had tears welling up in his eyes. He read the whole thing. Apologized to me, told me he was sorry and that he just didn't know. He then PROMISED to be more tolerant of my issues.. he also set his girlfriend straight. Now, both of them understand fully. The will explain things to me over and over if I need them to. It takes time to adjust. Our families hate seeing us this way and they think if they will it away it will go away... Time and patience... They will come around. Hugs,TeriOn Sat, Jan 1, 2011 at 8:28 PM, trudykinsey@... <trudykinsey@...> wrote: Hubby has had a cold. I'm sure he feels bad; is quite impatient with me.
