  5. Yeah, I'm so great at remembering anniversaries that I even forgot the anniversary of my cancer diagnosis.

    I blame.... chemo brain! 😂

    Yeah, it was on Nov 17th 2020 that they performed the brain biopsy that diagnosed me with a PCNS lymphoma. The next day, the oncologist they had assigned to me gave me the news. I gave my assent to treatment, and they immediately rolled me from neurology to oncology because I was *this* close to being dead.

    We started chemo. After two rounds of it, I entered remission, but I had to go through all 8 rounds of it (or 9 rounds depending on how you count), and later I had a stem cell transplant.

    Five years after this ordeal, I'm still alive. 🥳

  23. Krass vielleicht könnte dies auch der einen Patientin helfen 🤔

  24. Okay, so a few days back the office of my lipid specialist at Johns Hopkins contacts me to schedule labs, and a new appointment. She says that I can schedule my appointment myself.

    So I try. They ask if my appointment needs labs. I answer affirmatively. They ask if my labs have been done yet. I ask negatively. This is true. Then the system borks. I'm going to bet anything that this is because it wants me to have the tests *done* before I schedule the appointment.

    :why:

    Okay, so she had offered help if I cannot book the appointment myself. I tell her that I need help, and then... several days of dead air from her.

    :catthinking:

    Do they realize that:

    1. I have a life.

    2. When I send the ball back into your court, I'm very liable to forget that there is even a ball. Chalk it up to my #ActuallyAutistic mind, or maybe my #ChemoBrain. 🤷

  28. Auch Erwachsenen können Süßem nur schwer wiederstehen. Warum wirkt Zucker wie eine Droge und wie beeinflusst Süßes unser Gehirn? Lässt sich dagegen etwas machen? Außerdem: Warum schwindeln manche Menschen ständig, wie kann man solchen pathologischen Lügnern helfen? Manchmal ist es nicht so leicht zu entscheiden, ob wir etwas wirklich sehen oder es uns nur vorstellen. Wie unterscheidet unser Gehirn zwischen Realität und Einbildung? Manche Menschen können längerfristige kognitive Probleme nach einer Krebstherapie haben. Was weiß man über das so genannte Chemobrain, was kann Linderung verschaffen? Dating-Apps ermöglichen es, Beziehungen mit einem Klick zu beenden und plötzlich unsichtbar zu sein.

  31. It looks like I took imaginary pills this morning.

    I did mark them as taken, but when I look into my pill organizer, they are still in their container.

    It sometimes happened in the past that I took pills from the wrong container, but this morning it looks like I just did not take them.

    I probably thought about it, then I was busy trying to teach Maddox that the way to approach me is not to walk all over my laptop but to come the other way, then I marked them but did not realize that I did not take them.

    :headache:

    At any rate, the situation will fix itself in about one hour. I just took my synthroid, so I have to wait.

  35. Hmm... I don't think I've pointed this out already... if I did, then you can chalk it up to chemo brain. :derpface:

    Last time I got groceries, I bought some maple syrup. There was a product I had not seen before that looked significantly cheaper than what I usually buy. So I decided to do comparison shopping.

    :headache:

    Walmart likes to complicate things. One syrup was in $ per ounce, one was in $ per quarts, once was on $ per what-ever-the-fuck-unit-it-was. Also, the new product was in the wrong place. I discovered that when I scanned its barcode with my phone, and the price was much higher. I found where it should have been and moved it.

    At any rate, the whole unit kerfuffle was a big pain in the ass. Why were they switching units all over the place for things that are *THE SAME*???

    :why:

    When stores pull stuff like this, it makes me feel like someone is trying to scam me.

    I did complain to corporate.

  39. I woke up early. So I figured I might as well take my synthroid now. I have to take it one hour apart from food. I don't plan to eat for one hour. The perfect plan.

    Yes, the perfect plan that I immediately torpedo by taking my regular morning medicine instead of the synthroid.

    :headache:

    Strangely enough, I am reminded of this scene:

    Blackadder: "Baldrick, you wouldn't recognise a cunning plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord singing 'Cunning plans are here again'."

  43. I cooked my faux turkey... er... #Tofurky today. I figured that there wasn't much point in waiting. It tasted better than I remember. I have no idea whether they improved their recipe, or my chemo brain does not remember how it used to taste.

    It was a bit dry, however. I really had to put force into the knife to cut the bottom of the Tofurky.
