Yesterday my husbands dad and wife came for a visit which seldom happens. I felt very foggy brained and confused for most of the visit. I wanted so badly to go lie down but I knew if I did they would leave out of feeling sorry for me and my hubby enjoys his father's visits so I pushed through. I sat in a chair for hours and couldn't participate in the conversations out of dropping words, slurring and stuttering. And I couldn't remember simple words and had to have my son help me find them. My FIL kept complaining that I speak too quietly. His wife would tell me that my eyes looked different and I seemed dopey. By the time they left I was in agony! I was angry and cried uncontrollably. My eyes hurt and so did my head. I took some Advil and had a hot bath to ease the tension in my neck. Hubby apologized relentlessly. The one thing I've noticed about myself lately is that I have lost all desires for things I loved before. I was an avid crochet/knitter and would design beautiful things. I tried to pick it up a week ago and couldn't remember a simple slip knot. Out of frustration I haven't picked it back up. This morning I wake up with foggy brain and I'm very angry so I've had to isolate myself from my daughter whose driving me crazy! I had to make a phone call to my work and as I was leaving a message my daughter kept interrupting me which made me forget what I was saying and I began slurring again. When she gets this message she's gonna think I'm some kind of mental patient!

Thanks for listening.
