It funny how this fibro thing can screw up the most basic simple things in your life, huh? I can't help but to laugh at my self for the stupid things I do! LOL
Today my mom was with me while I was driving home from the bank, we were in the left lane and our R turn to our house was coming up, but I didn't even realize where I was. As we got closer and closer to the turn off, mom looked at me with a confused look on her face and said, "Umm...our turn is coming up right here. Where are you going?" as she pointed to the turn. "Oh, shit!!" I said so I had to cut someone off and get over to the turn. Basically , I made a R turn from the L lane in the intersection and I think the guy behind me thought I was crazy. I started laughing so hard at my self and told mom that when I drive alone, I pass things up all the time, even going home!
I told her nobody is home, leave a message at the beep! LOL ...It's hollow up there, and there is an echo! ROLMAO!! ...My brain is gone!! lol!
It reminded me of our friend Gaile who is 62 with pre-Alzheimer's. She calls it a senior moment. Well i'm only 26! Now I know why I get along so much better with the older generation...cuz we got so much in common!! LOL! I'm on arthritis meds, I have to eat soft foods cuz my jaw aches, I forget everything and everyone, my height is shrinking cuz of my DDD, we have to do everything slowly, and need constant reminders as when to take the next meds!
Gosh!! We fibros should just move into a freakin retirement home!! LOL!

Can you imagine the carniage at a freakin retirement home full of Fibro patients. The fridge would be so full of car keys etc it'd fall through the floor. The walls and floor would be covered with postit notes to self and everyone would be doing the two steps forward one step back dance. We'd all be in our dressing gowns and be looking like fibrochick's avatar, it would be a scream.
