I'm losing my mind

And I haven't even had any chemo yet. I can't even begin to imagine what might happen if I ever do start treatment.

Anyways, I was texting a friend earlier, who we go out to dinner with on occasion, to see when our next plans were. He texted back that we had tentatively set up August 29th for dinner, at either AOC or Campanile in Los Angeles.

I immediately texted him back,
We did? 8/29 is like Friday!

He immediately texted back wondering what happened to the rest of July.

What was I thinking? 8/29 isn't Friday. It might be a Friday (I haven't checked the calendar), but it's definitely not this Friday. And July 29th, which is what I was actually thinking at the time, isn't Friday either. It's tomorrow.

Well that sure was a senior moment, if I'd never encountered one before.

I just hope it doesn't have anything to do with these nose bleeds I've been having, and which don't seem to be going away. (I had another episode at work this AM.) I contacted my oncologist this afternoon, hoping she will get me a referral to an ENT doctor, instead of me having to go see my PCP, and then get a referral, which will take even more time.

When did you have a nosebleed today?

People quite often get confused when they are "elderly" and I don't think it's been linked to any form of cancer yet. I walked all the way across the building and forgot why I went there in the first place. Maybe it's Arcturus!

About an hour after getting to work (you weren't there yet). I had just finished going through all the internal audit responses, and had just sat back down at my desk, when my nose started bleeding.

Again it only lasted about a minute, but it was a long minute. It's just a good thing I had a box of kleenex by my desk.
