I speak as someone with benign senescent forgetfulness. As long as I can remember that phrase, I’m good

I'm pretty sure if you can recall and repeat the phrase 'cognitive capacity', you've got cognitive capacity.

Thank you for sharing your brave journey. Your writing is so wonderful… You should put it in a book, a collection of essays. Your strength and your positive Nature are very inspiring. Kick butt and stay strong

Thanks! I need someone to do the book thing. I don’t have the energy for that.

Naah, keep the baby fat. In fact, I'll suggest adding to it.

Eat more cake.

Actually I have lost the baby fat now. Not intentionally, but…well…cancer.

Finally a bit of good news! Something wasn't malignant. YAY!

Hope your energy perks up and you do things on your list. And while we're on the subject of lists. Yours is terrible. Skip everything on it and go somewhere fun. Or eat wildly delicious but inappropriate foods.

Just my view and as always my advice is worth what you paid for it.
