As many of you are aware every now and again I come across a blog entry, article, podcast or book that appeals to me and I endeavour to share that information for others, so that they can understand a little of what is going on in my world; be it ministry, health, or even sport (which I haven’t done in a while).
In the past few weeks I have come across a blog called Chronic Mom which was written to let sick people with chronic illnesses or diseases know that their are other people out there just like them, and that laughter can help, which is something that the movie Patch Adams espouses.
The article; What is brain fog? Everything you need to know and more appealed as it is something that in the past 12-18 months has increasingly frustrated me – sometimes simple words escape me and it can be hugely embarrassing while in the middle of a conversation.
At other times I’m about to do stuff and all of a sudden I’m like; ‘What am I doing here?‘ I have know idea what I was about to do, let alone why I am in a particular place. Thankfully this is only a momentary lapse of reason and within seconds the mind kicks into gear – But it can be hugely off putting.
Read all about ‘brain fog’, ‘fibro fog’, ‘chemo brain’ and gain a better understanding of some of the struggles that people with chronic illness, chronic diseases, chronic pain, and or the side effects of treatment that some people are going through.
We all take so much for granted and sometimes the best thing that we can do is show a bit more kindness and compassion, especially if you come across people that may be a tad forgetful, or can’t remember certain things.
