Woops. I took a phone call earlier today. Someone scheduling two appointments for my dad.

I didn't get the times. LOL! My ability to focus on phone calls and ask the right questions is shot due to ptsd. I'm outta practice. I'm guessing that both operations take place first thing in the morning like they did for my mom but I will have to call back. I worked as a receptionist and did a great job after I had ptsd. I wonder if I can get it back. That focus. Life is hard.

How is your memory these days?

With all the operations and anesthesia my memory was full of holes and I had trouble concentrating on anything complicated. It's getting better but I am not as sharp as I used to be.

Check on those operations/appointments. They aren't always first thing anymore.

I also have PTSD. Sometimes it's much worse than other times. Therapy helps a lot. Abusive family member planning a June visit has thrown me for a loop. Back on meds. Making plans to leave the state during his visit.

If that's what it takes, that's what it takes.

Take it easy, take notes, be good to yourself.
