It's 8 months later and I can finally say that this has stopped happening. I have hit regular amounts of derp me.
It was so frustrating. I "lost" words like toothpaste AKA "teeth brushy stuff", pencil AKA "scribble thing", and spoon AKA "scoopy scooper stick - sh* that thing that does the scrape, f* forget it". I would have pulled my hair out if I'd had any at the time.
IT GETS BETTER. BUT it might not be the worst yet.
For me, it hit the worst when I was stuttering to get out a sentence (I actually cried about it - being all chemo fragile). I felt so defeated and lost, knowing what I wanted to say then "T - T - St - kuh" coming out, ending up hanging my head and resorting to desperately holding up my empty mug to ask for a cup of tea. It's amazing how much I used to take communication for granted. Language is such a powerful tool.
