[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 89641"] MrsCat - thank you for the hugs Linda - I've had 2 heart caths since the original angioplasty. I have several small arteries too small to stent with small blockages (around 30%-40%) and that's being managed with medication. My heart is working efficiently now. Janet - I knew you would understand. LOL Marcie - I do the same thing with my kids...forget I asked them something and then ask them to tell me what their answer was. I can't count how many times I've parked my car either in the garage or in a parking space and take my foot off the brake only to realize I forgot to put it in park. I actually let my 16 year old with a permit do most of the driving anymore. Several times recently I put food on the stove, turn on the burner and walk away for a few minutes only to return and discover I turned the wrong burner on. It did affect me at work. I would look at stuff I did all the time and feel like I'd never seen it before. It's very disconcerting. I KNOW I KNOW how to do it, but I'd have to figure it out again. BBK - I can always count on you for hugs. Wend and Jo - It's not hormonal. I take medications every day that keep my hormones at an even keel. I've noticed it's much worse when my pain is increased or when my fatigue is. susie - thanks for understanding if I ramble. Herewegoagain - the nice thing about writing is you can stop if you are rambling or can't find the words and all evidence just goes "Poof!" LOL. Star - Thanks.
