Multitasking is not or me.

I used to be able to do several things at the same time. And I did not forget any of them. But age is a bad company. And my arteries are not what they were, specially not since I had chemotherapy. There are side effects. And one of them is that memory is not the same. I have decided not to worry and say that my intelligence lies in accepting these things without feeling bad. Such is life, I say, just like the pain in my feet due to peripheric neuropathy (another side effect of chemo) appears every day. Chemotheraphy was not free but neither was cancer. And here I am, over 10 years after I was diagnosed with a stage 4 lymphoma. Still, the memory loss gives me problems. I put some potatoes to boil and decided to ask for some groceries online. Fortunatly they were simmering at the minimum and I decided to go to the pantry to see if I needed something else. Nothing bad happened now, but other times I have eaten baked potatoes I am absolutly sure that in a few minutes I´ll remember something important that I forgot to ask. Do you multitask? Has that changed with age?
