A Bit Less Sharp

It's been some time since my last post.  It is not due to the lack of material, but more a victim of my recovery.  I have posted this before, my days activities are restricted to waking up, going to work, napping at lunch, work, come home and nap, eat, watch TV and sleep.  Saturdays are sleeping in late, running errands, napping, dinner, TV and sleep.  Sundays are a little better.

My latest visit to the oncologist went fairly well.  Cancer has not returned and everything kind of looks OK.  Further blood tests are being evaluated to ensure nothing else is going on.  I'm still not back to normal, (Gayle still doesn't think I was ever normal), it is more of an issue of establishing the new normal.

 I was doing what the Drs. said not to do and that is check the Internet to confirm the after affects of Chemo therapy and I found this that confirms Gayle's suspicions.

CHEMO BRAIN
It is estimated that one in five people who take chemotherapy for cancer experience “chemo-brain.” This is a side effect described as a hazy experience with symptoms such as forgetfulness, difficulty finding the right words and difficulty multi-tasking or concentrating. Some regain mental clarity over time, others remain a bit less sharp.


PS:  We are proud to announce Jordan passed the California Bar.  He is now a legal lawyer (?)
