A lighter driving foot

Having cancer doesn't necessarily make one loose weight, especially with steroids in the mix, but it does change other aspects of who we are.  Since I was age 17 and driving, I always had the family heredity lead-foot meaning I like to drive fast.  Always preferred driving sports cars, especially manual transmission and will always treasure my memories of driving cross-country in my 3.2 litre six cylinder car with the stick, Ford Probe, with the liquid crystal display dash.  Still love cars, but now don't drive much anymore, especially on a chemo week.  It requires too much energy and focus.  But I do notice that when I do drive it is much slower, and much less aggressively.  The lead-foot has disappeared with the BRCA gene showing up.  Oh well.
