There are times when I don't check out PB for a few days in a row. In summer, sometimes it's longer than that. I must mention to my daughter that if I ever get sick or something, for her to come on here & let people know what's up.
I'm here for you & you can always babblemail me. I usually check my email daily, although same thing - there might be a few days when I don't or more in the summer.
I am very glad your gyn will write scrips for you. That must be a huge load off your mind.
And as to forgetting, it is TOTALLY within the norm in a LOT of cases:
- as we get older (you have no idea of how many people I talk to who complain about their memory - MANY people - usually in their late 40's or in their 50's)
- if we're ill
- if we're tired
- if we're stressed
- if we have a lot of things on our mind
probably other reasons also, like:
- if we're really sad
- if we're really excited about something
So, I'd throw the 'dementia' word right out the window. In fact, I'd probably write it really huge on a paper & then rip or cut the paper into shreds & dispose of it however you want...your garbage....a public garbage container on the street....whatever.
You're a special person. You're also a very strong person. Sorry if that doesn't feel good - I sometimes HATE it when people tell me I'm a strong person. Part of me feels like they're negating the pain I'm in, but we MUST be strong (so many of us here at PB - I guess all of us, really) to be able to somehow carry on despite our pain.
Please ignore those IRL who hurt you. Better still, learn 'what' you can safely say to 'who'. No sense setting yourself up to get hurt.
So sorry about your computer problems. Does it mean that if people send you an email you might not 'see' it??? What about Babblemails??
(((((((((((((((((you)))))))))))))))
You are a good person - remember that... I send my love, & hugs, Kath
