I keep telling myself that it is all the meds I am taking. At least I am hoping so. I've lost simple words from my vocabulary. For instance, the word 'was.' There are others too. Usually 3-4 letter common words. I have to ask for a definition or look one up. Very humiliating.

Before I lost my ability to drive, I would get lost going from my building a few blocks to my husbands. I drove it every day. We carpooled. I didn't necessarily end up in a different place, it was that I didn't recognize the place I was in.

I stay out of the kitchen. I tell my husband it is his turn. I cooked for the first 25 years while the kids were home. June 28 was our 33 year anniversary. He has a way to go to catch up.
