July 11 And they said don't learn anything new

So while I am going through radiation they told me I would have to keep notes and not to try to take any classes or learn anything new as it would be very hard b/c my short term memory would be impacted. Now I don't know what cancer patient thinks active treatment is a good time to learn spanish or quantum physics anyway but whatever, they have to tell you everything I guess. But in my full out rebellion mode I have been challenging myself with new things every week to learn. For added fun I am making it something technical because I hate technical things. I hire good technically skilled people so I don't have to do this garbage. So over the past three weeks I started slow. First I manuevered my way through LinkedIn the professional networking site a lot of my friends and co-workers have been nagging me to join. Then I kicked it up a notch and joined Facebook for basically the same reason and then I built a blog to further spread my story and hopefully encourage others. And then I started learning systems related to my work and building elearning and web courses.

And I am doing great by the way. I have all these new things with new passwords to remember. And no, I don't have them all written down somewhere. I have decided to not forget anything and thus far it is working. Of course if suddenly all communication stops you'll know the doctors were right and I forgot all my passwords to everything!!!
