memory loss and confusion

[soycoffee]

Virgi -- yes, the Google effect of sounding more intelligent in work written on the computer, because we can look thing sup. Another part of the effect is that we can instantly check on our draft and the material to which we are responding. Then too, generally grammar and sentence structure survive, though to listen to me on the phone, you wouldn't know it.

Best,

My journalist tendancies have suffered greatly by my brain fog. Also, I have the attitude of "what the heck" and just go on typing. What the heck, I don't worry about my sentence structure like I used to I just type it and forget to do a spellcheck.

I should be ashamed of myself, but I have lost that little bit of myself too. Ain't it just the pits!!

Also, when we don't have to do a lot of things to keep a job or for money it is very easy to just slough off. Sort of like letting the house keeping sort of peter out. Being chronically ill is not the best thing for maintaining a level of competence cause we don't see that many people.

Also, how many of you find that the thought of going out socially is just exhausting??? Not too bad with just one couple, but put me in a crowd and I just would rather stay home cause it is hard to hear and keep up with conversation. The fatigue factor really figures in here also and others don't get it. Irish
