It makes me not feel so strange now - making lists, having to tell myself often to concentrate on conversations going on, feeling like things are getting a little out of hand, trying to unsuccessfully multi-task, I thought that I was just a little rusty from the "year off". <br />Just one more side effect that we are left with.<br />Who would have guessed that you could be SO different one year ago that even your mind is altered!

It's so hard to understand sometimes when we are not the one's going through something....Ryan and I experienced this lots waiting and trying everything humanly possible to have our little blessings! But now I must admit...what about a '4 kids' brain? Is there research for that? Just kidding! Thanks again for sharing. I love your writings!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707226897848896741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929925616875931161.post-79787495695760982842009-05-29T08:57:31.955-04:002009-05-29T08:57:31.955-04:00Thanks for explaining this, Glynis. When things st...Thanks for explaining this, Glynis. When things start messing with our brains, we think it's just us. Bad enough to be struggling with it, but to know it's not "just me" should make it easier. I know it does for me in other things.<br /><br />Wasn't it St. Paul who said something about we know we're not suffering alone but are in good company with others all over the world? He was talking about Christians facing persecution, but it seems to apply to other human suffering too.<br /><br />Hugs today, my friend.Joanna Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09009706543743970845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929925616875931161.post-54035074231342459212009-05-29T00:51:32.489-04:002009-05-29T00:51:32.489-04:00What a helpful presentation, Glynis.

I'd recently seen a TV special by Dr. Daniel Amen (he wrote "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life") and he mentioned chemotherapy when talking about brain health but not such specific areas that can be affected. <br /><br />I'm sure your sense of humor tides you over the worst of the mental stumbles. Be patient with yourself. Those of us that love you don't mind at all.vjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877792864174685413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929925616875931161.post-6225720235479634812009-05-29T00:44:54.947-04:002009-05-29T00:44:54.947-04:00Let me say first that I hope my hair comes in curl...Let me say first that I hope my hair comes in curly like yours! From my old white/straight to dark/curly! Wouldn't that be cool! As for the chemo brain... I think I've already experienced that...except I considered it menopause brain. I'm a bit older than you, but I remember the bumps in the road of that time of my life. As for now? Chemo brain? Ummm, certainly seem a bit lethargic at times. And I hate to admit it, but a little less witty in expressing myself, either in writing or verbally. Eeew! That sounds bad! Delete that last item.
