12/16/2016 11:23:13 PM | Hi Deanna, Many thanks for your kind words of welcome, encouragement, and practical tips. I'll check the forum to find some of your threads so I can get to "know" you better. I've read so much...and I take notes...and I organize things...and re-organize them, and I've made some progress, but overall, my cognition is operating differently (as in a fog at times) than what I'm used to, which mainly seems to manifest in my executive functioning abilities. Managing details and information takes me longer and I seem to travel down a more convoluted neurological path to arrive at a conclusion or formulate my thoughts. If you've ever heard of the word, "circumlocution," you'll recognize it in my meandering style of communication. I mentioned my concern about this brain fog to my doctor last spring, so she ordered a cognitive test to find out. As she read the report on my subsequent office visit in preparation to deliver the results, I got nervous and asked her if it was bad...and to please...just go ahead and tell me. She said, no...actually, yours is the highest IQ I've seen for somebody with your level of infection. Lol...I shared this with Mel on an email and told him that I was about to get the big head until I heard that zinger on the end. So...relatively speaking...I could be in the superior "for my level of infection" range and still barely be able to find my way to the front door. But...as you mentioned...Outlook is a great tool, and I've recently started using notifications on my phone. I've used all kinds of pill organizing strategies, and it's interesting you mentioned the zip locks...because that's been my latest method de'jour...and the one that's seemed to have worked best so far. I think the main reason I don't get in all my meds has to do with eating. I often find myself not very hungry...and I get so busy at work that I'll look up and hours have gone by...so no "lunch" pills have been taken...and then I look up again and the day is almost gone. I left a building just last week at 4:30 and realized my next set of pills to take was labeled, "mid-morning." I obviously need a new plan to address this, and fortunately, as of this afternoon, I have two weeks off for Winter Break which will give me some time to reorganize. I plan to try to cook ahead and freeze some things over the time off. Hopefully having something to heat up for lunch will make things easier during a busy work day. I'm also considering adopting a new approach after reading (listening to) Craig's information about PH. I believe he said that lunch is his larger meal and that he eliminates protein after 3:00 pm and usually has a salad for dinner. If I make a large salad ahead, that would make things easier as well. Again...thank you for your welcome and response. I'm open to any ideas to help me in any of my "still developing" skill areas, and I'll definitely offer any tips I've discovered along the way that might help someone else as well. On that note, I've recently discovered something that's helped me sleep better at night...and that is satin sheets. I just bought the cheap ones online and they're fine...all polyester which will likely get hot in the summer, but it's working out great right now. No fiber-y feeling with the slick satin surface means less skin annoyances at night. I had to laugh when these shiny slick poly sheets came in the mail...thinking about my beautiful long fiber high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets that are put away for now...hopefully to be used again someday. I had a momentary thought of...what's next...Elvis on velvet? Ok...M can do a lot of things to derail one's life...but when it starts creating those kinds of thoughts...well...it's time to go to bed. Oh...fyi...the only real downside to the satin sheets is that you can slip off the bed if you're not careful. I solve this by just jumping straight to the middle and staying away from the edges. Thanks again for your encouragement, Karen |
