Default Cognitive Abilities (or Inabilities)

I've got the typical MS cognative problems.....word recall, keeping up with multiple conversations, etc. But has anyone experienced physical problems related to cognative issues? Here's an example: When I was driving (I'm not now due to this episode of ON) I'd get to my destination and have to really think about the order in which to do things to exit my car. Put the car in park, turn off either the A/C or heater.....depending on the weather, turn the car off, put the emergency brake up, take the keys out of the ignition, gather up my cane, purse and anything else I was taking with me, open the door and get out. Seems simple enough, huh?

Well, I'd turn the radio ON, try to turn the car off before putting it in park, forget to set the emergency brake.......it's like I know what to do but the tasks get scrambled up in my head.

It's very aggravating, even when I'm alone but I did it once when DS was with me. He didn't need to say anything. The look on his face said it all.

Just wondering if I'm alone in my confusion or if others have similar issues. I hope you don't.....but it'd be nice to know I'm not alone.
