Letting out the Frivolous side...
I am going to buy myself a Nintendo DS lite. I am not very good at these kind of video games BUT my friend was telling me about the Brain Age games which are mental "exercises" to help maintain mental acuity, and ward off Alzheimer's. Not sure if I will develop Alzheimer's but may help with the "Chemo Brain". What do you think?
