Is this a sign of Brain Metz?????
 

I still cannot believe that I drove to work, parked in the structure, but forgot to turn off the engine! I was franticly searching for my car keys 4 hours later when I noticed the headlights were on and the car was still running. Doors were unlocked and ripe for the taking. I have left the keys in the car plenty of times in my life, but never left the car running. This happened today. No I was not just diagnosed. I am almost 2 yrs out. Sure hope this was just an isolated incident. This is my first posting, although I did browse when I was first diagnosed. Peace KS

No, I don't think that is a sign of brain mets. I was 3 years out of treatment for my first round of breast cancer - just stage 1, when I did a similar thing.

I took all three of my sons off to get new health cards for us all. We had to take lots of ID, and I needed to make sure they all looked moderately presentable. The place was miles away in an area that I wasn't familiar with and I was a little worried about being late.

Well we got it all done and were back at the parking lot when I heard a car running. When we got to the car and I couldn't find my keys, I realized it was our car. Unlike you I had carefully locked the car. Our city has a no idle by-law so I was locked out with 3 kids, miles from home, facing a ticket, and perhaps running out of gas. We all took the bus home, I got a spare key and took the bus back. Amazingly the car which had been running for about 4 hours by then had used very little gas and there was no ticket.

Not brain mets, just a woman multitasking beyond her ability.

maybe just a little left over chemo-brain? LOL

I had an absent-minded friend who did the same thing when she was in her early 30s. My boss did the same thing a few years ago. I bet you'll never do it again.

Thank you for making me feel better. I think the situation hit a nerve w/ me because leaving the car running while going into the bar was one of the reasons I used to take my father's car away. The other reason of course was that he drove home drunk. I am going to chalk this one up to being preoccupied. Peace KS
