Foggy brain.

Tell me about it.

Late last year, I decided to do another Masters (post graduate course work study). For fun. Then I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, rrms. Shit. Bugger.

Had already paid fees for first unit. But was dealing with foggy brain as well. Have you ever wondered whether it is foggy brain, symptom of rrms, or whether it is the onset of early dementia? Is every headache a tumor?

I digress.

Uni was a struggle. Coming to terms with a new job, diagnosis and ‘stuff’. Scared that foggy brain had taken away part of my self identity. Couldn’t remember a conversation or page of book, 30 seconds later.

But today I got my results.

I more than passed. And this one mark means so much to me. I didn’t give up. On study on my dreams, or on me. I prevailed.

And my foggy brain can officially go and get f’d.
