Chemo Brain Event #1
By
At the time this was not very funny to me. Everyone knows you do not put plastic near heat, right? Well, with “chemo brain”, a term for being chemically impared, many things don’t compute. This condition is temporary although it can take up to a year to clear the fog from the brain. Anyway, I was using a rotisery and thought it would be more convenient to leave in the thermometer provided it did not catch on anything as it turned. I studied it so carefully, watching a few rounds to make sure the thermometer cleared at every turn. I was quite proud of myself for handling this by myself. Never cook alone when in treatment! My husband smelled the melting plastic and rescued our dinner and saved the evidence for a souvenier.
