- ‘Shut the window doors.’ – I wanted the curtains closed. The curtains will forever be the ‘window doors’ to Ian and I.
- ‘Where’s the iPad?’ – I was using it. I do this a lot, with everything.
- Me – ‘Can you pass me that thing. That big iPad.’
Bf – ‘You mean the laptop?’ - ‘I like diamonds, not those scuba sercomia.’ – I meant cubic zirconia.
- Bf – ‘Where did he shoot him? I know you’re not watching.’
Me – ‘In the dick.’
Bf – ‘No.’
Me – ‘In the cock.’
Bf – ‘Same thing.’ – We were watching TV, or rather Ian was. - ‘There’s a gap in the wordos.’ – The curtains weren’t closed properly.
- Me – ‘I’ve got them sneezing meds in my bag.’
Ian – ‘Antihistamines.’ - ‘A lot narrower than his fed, fred, forehead.’
- Me – ‘Could you pass me the hook, please? The telly hook.’
Bf – ‘The HMDI cable.’
Me – ‘Same thing.’ - Me – ‘I’m taking one of these. I have to let it melt on my face.’
Bf – ‘You mean ‘on your tongue’.’
Me – ‘My tongue is on my face.’
Bf – ‘In it, but okay.’ - ‘His hair is skwed,’ *hysterical laughter, ‘I meant his head is square.’
- Me – ‘Why didn’t you have a beer in the hospital?’
Bf – ‘You mean ‘the restaurant?” - ‘I’m just lulling you into a false salsa security.’
- ‘Little gem lep-see.’ – I meant ‘little gem lettuce leaves.’
- Me – ‘You can’t reheat chucking chocolate.’
Bf – ”Cooking’ chocolate.’ - ‘He’s put it in a tub of cot water.’ – Hot water, I should have said ‘hot water.’ Oops.
- ‘I’ll only eat ice cream with a fork. I mean a knife. Oh for fucks sake, the other one.’ – The amount I talk about spoons and I couldn’t find the bloody word.
- Me – ‘I can’t help it if my face doesn’t speak properly.’
Bf – *Looks at me*
Me – ‘My mouth then.’
I hope you had a little chuckle at some of my brain fog moments. I’m sure there’ll be more to come.
You're not alone lovely…I TOTALLT get this post-you just described my life!

I didn't have "a little chuckle." I had a belly laugh. I SO do this too! And I too have an MA in English. Beau says he has to wait forever for me to finish sentences as I try to remember words so it goes like this: "Beau, where's the … ahhh the … [me making strained faces as I struggle to remember the word] … oh you know what I mean, the thing!" I find that I tend to do what you did with the cutlery: I use the wrong word in the same class category. So I'll say something like, "I need a blanket, no a towel, no a … a napkin!" And it's always nouns. God only knows why.
Anyway, I didn't know others got this from pain too. Gosh. What a messed up life I lead.

I've definitely got brain fog and finding hard to deal with. It's one of things that's stopping me working, does anyone manage to work normally?
Salsa security is my favourite!
You described me too. This is by far one of my most frustrating symptoms. I try to laugh about it, but sometimes it just embarrasses me… it makes me feel so very stupid. The thing I hate the most is when I'm in the middle of a sentence when I have to stop because I suddenly have no idea what I was talking about.
It's important to keep a sense of humour. Thanks for sharing your brain fog:) Linda
