I went to 2 appts Tuesday and my brain was just completely in the "off" position I guess...it just was not a functioning day for it at all and I had a couple of good and funny blunders...but I wonder what the people really thought when I said it? Good thing I can laugh it off and most of the time people do too....I yiyiyiyiyiy!
The first one the woman at the ophthalmologist office asked what kind of contact lenses I was wearing so she could get me a case and wetting solution...I wanted to say I have rigid gas permeable...but I forgot to say all of it and said...I have gas! What the heck??? She and I just laughed about it and she said..I know what you mean but what was that about??? ;D
Then when I was having a scan done later that morning, they were trying to put the IV's in and couldn't get them to stay in the veins....was getting everyone a little nervous and I was bruising so they called in the IV team. I meant to say I have good veins in my hands but instead I told her I have hands!
I'm surprised they didn't ship me off to the psych unit.... :o
Lynnmarie . . . you poor thing. Some times it just happens. Do you by chance use shorthand in your job? You were just giving the shortened version of things. ;D
Take care . . . . oh . . . . and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!! ;D ;D
Hugs,
Bucky
Oh my Lynnmarie, I thought I was the only one that did that! I've done it so much with the thyroid doctor that she just ignores it, or maybe she's learned alien - Patze style! ;) :D
And Happy Birthday a bit early!!!!! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-fc/birthday.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

lynnmarie219, is it true you are turning '21' ?
Oh yes Joe...you are so correct!! ;)
btw...your check is in the mail..... :D
I just had to laugh when i read your post!!! I have turned into a blubbering idiot!!! I used to pride myself on having a good vocabulary and pronouncing things correctly-WELL NOT ANYMORE!!!! I call it "sometimers" because sometimes i can speak and it comes out ok, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes i can finish what i am saying and not lose my train of thought, and sometimes i can't!!!!
I was working on medical history/symptoms history list this morning, because Monday i have an appointment with a neurologist and didn't want to sound like a complete idiot!!!!! So, in my moments of clarity, i thought i better write them down!!!! Good Lord, SJS is a gift that keeps on giving!!!!!! You just gotta laugh!
Oh my I have done that so many times....sometimers. I like that!!!
My daughter says talk "right"!!! Then we laugh.....gotta laugh. But its so weird!
Cally,
We "gotta laugh" is right...if we cant laugh about it whats the alternative? I would rather laugh for sure!! :D
I started taking Acetyl L Carnitine (ALC) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) for brain fog when I could no longer keep my train of thought with the children in my classes. After two years now I am looking at doing programming. It has been years since I have thought in these languages.
What I am getting at is that the fog is clearing.
Well if you can't be smart at the moment, at least be entertaining! ;) :D
Leave 'em laughing I say! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing025.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

I was just telling someone the other day - I don't have Brain Farts, I have Cranial Methane Explosions! :D
You know what that aggravating jumpin' green thing reminds me of? When younger, one of my boys jumping on his bed in his room... >:(
Be a Sweetheart Patze and let him have naptime!!! :-*
I think Patze's little Ninja friend has had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much caffeine!! :o Hide his supply Patze!! He needs to calm down and take a breather on the naughty mat - I'm sure you will scoot over to give him some room on the mat!! ;D
Ah, you didn't like my little psychotic friend? I'm sssssooooooooooo sssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddd, no more cowabunga! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sad023.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

LOST One little jumping boy with a green jump suit on... ;D Have checked all the posts and he's gone...NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!! ;D
After reading these posts it's again nice to know we are not alone. I believe we have a language of our own. Sometimes I don't know what comes out of my mouth. Everybody looks at me and I have to laugh!!!! I just tell them I don't know what that was. It wasn't English. HaHaHa
jpd
Chile, Let's just say I'm a giggler's delight!!!!!
Utoh! hubby caught me coming out of the bathroom from my shower, with my slippers dripping from my hands. I was headed to the garage to set them out to dry. ::)
I looked at him and said "Don't ask, DON'T EVEN ASK!" I can't help it if they jumped in the shower with me. ;D They just can't bear to be parted from me.
Yeah sure, believe that and I'll tell you a hundred more. :D :D
And the brain scores another one.
Pooh
Oh Pooh, that is a good one!!! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing001.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-laughing021.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
Patze
Oh Pooh,
Hope the garage is heated or you will have two frozen ice cubes to put back on your feet! :o
Pooh - not to worry - I'm sure you were just multi-tasking and washing your slippers at the same time as you were taking your shower!! ;D I'm sure you had this planned the whole time. ;)
Enjoy your Sunday . . . .
Bucky
Thanks Bucky, that's exactly what I was doing................................................ showering and washing my slippers ..........................................at the same time.
That's my new story, and I'm sticking to it. ;D
Pooh
And that's a good story Pooh! I would stick to it too!
Pooh,
Don't feel bad, I got into the shower this am with my glasses on... Had my back to the water, didn't notice till I turned around!
Also twice today set out to do one thing, got into the other room and didn't remember what I was supposed to be doing and started something else. Then logged onto computer to look up something and couldn't remember what it was.... Is this brain fog? Or am I just losing it?
