Chemo brain is alive and well at my house. Last week I got a phone call from booking clerk for the medical reevaluation of my knee. I prompted wrote down what I thought was the day and time.

A mother's worry never stops.

Thank you and I will although it is just to determine the level of disability pension that I may be entitled to.

Add me to the list of forgetting details seconds after I've been told. At least you have the chance to make it to the appointment the next day. I've had calls asking why I was late!!!!!

Hope it goes well.

Thank you. I used to be so organized and together. Now I practically need a babysitter.

I wish. I think that those brain cells are dead and gone. They say when you lose a sense the others pick up the slack. I may learn "short hand" so I can write faster before I forget. I think I should buy stock in "Post It" notes.
