My brain no longer works. I forget things mid sentence, mid thought, sometimes even before I get one or two words out. I can't remember the words I want to use, the places I need to go or the things I need to do. You might say that I am a little pre-occupied all the time, or that I have that rare disease called "pregnancy brain" or you might just say that my brain cells are dying at a faster than average rate.
Anywhoo, I thought I had an appointment with my diabetes specialist today at 1:00. To prepare, I hurried to get a couple of projects finished at work, ate my lunch and left the office with enough time to get to my scheduled appointment. When I pulled into the parking lot, I had an overwhelming urge to look at my planner. Good thing I brought it with me because...my appointment is tomorrow at 1:00, not today. Idiot!
The embarassment and stupidity of it all caused me to just drive home.
I'll try it again tomorrow.

Welcome. I didn't believe this world of brain-disfunction existed during and post-pregnancy. Or I didn't want to. It is so embarrasing sometimes. Good luck!
You never get it all back either, unfortunatly. I still cannot put coherent thoughts together while speaking. Writing works a lot better for me.
I remember one time, while pregnant looking around and realizing that jj was not at home. I got up and checked all the rooms. I could not find him and I did not know where he had gone and the car was gone.
I called him on his cell and asked him where he was, he said, "I just left, remember I told you, I had a meeting to go to." I did not remember, I still don't remember. All I remember is coming out of the semi-pregnant haze to realize I had a husband and he was temporarily missing.
thanks for the words of "encouragement" girls. Good to know I can look forward to being stupid forever more. At least I'll have company in the brain fart category.
