Stupid Chemo Brain
First order of business this morning, call and make my appointment to get the chest x-ray for hopefully later this morning. It is 8am and I am able to make an appointment for 10:15 this morning. I get myself ready and head on out to the Cedars campus. I arrive about 9:45am and find my way to the imaging pavilion. I walk up to the information desk, they greet me, and ask, "How may I help you?" My mind goes completely blank. I have forgotten why I am here. I take a moment to think. She asks me to right my name down on a piece of paper and she will help me. As I am writing my name, I remember I am there for a chest x-ray and tell her. She looks me up in the computer and directs me to go into the room directly behind her and someone will help me. I thank her and walk the thirty or so steps into the next room and approach the check-in desk. Again, I get greeted and she asks, "How may I help you?" Once again, my mind goes completely blank! Argh!! A freakin' minute passes and I forget why I am there!! Just another reminder that I may not look like I have been fighting cancer this past year but my body is telling me otherwise. Blah!! She asks me if I have my orders with me. This sparks my memory, when I called this morning they said that the orders were in the computer and I did not have to bring the paper with me. This helps me remember that I am there for a chest x-ray. So frustrating this chemo brain crap!
