I use to could remember every detail of every useless conversation or fact about anything. That No longer holds true. I now suffer from "Chemo Brain". And yes, its a real thing.
Example.....After my 4 yo had swim lessons, we made a trip to Publix for a few things. We then stopped by the local burger joint for take-out lunch. When we got home, I get Gabe out of the carseat, get the burgers inside put the milk in our garage frig (doesn't everyone have an extra frig in the garage?). Made the 13 yo help with the few bags I had and went inside to eat. 10 minutes later, out to the garage I went.....Driver door wide open and the refrigerator door also open--and the garage was at least 95. That is just today's example.
I can be in the middle of a conversation, and I can forget what I am talking about. I can open the cabinet 5 times and finally on the SIXTH try, I remember what I was after. And my favorite....I forget to listen when people are answering my questions.
I forget what things are called or I call them the completely WRONG thing. I now call my children multiple names---I only have 2 kids, three if you count my husband. ;)
Chemo Brain should go away once they quit pumping me full of poison. I hope so. Not what was I talking about?????
