The Aging Brain

Memory loss/ brain fog: prompt :Ravin Ink

Let’s see… you know it’s that thing you open up to heat up food… it um is the nuker, and so I thought about it practically in my sleep…then two days later, I remember the name “ microwave!!
In addition I get my kids and grandkids names mixed up!!! Nothing like growing old… it scares the heck out of me….brain fog.. yes I have that lovely condition as well…. Should I go on????

I am 28 years old, and I have some issues with memory every now and then. One time, I came to work (I was 25 at the time) and I walked onto my unit and started my day as normal. It never occurred to me that the walls were decorated differently, the patients all looked different, and I wasnt working with my normal team. It took me exactly 45 minutes to figure out I was on the wrong unit, and it was my day off. Soooo scary!

I never saw this one. I too get forgetful sometimes. It gets embarrassing when friends can remember things almost right away and I struggle, not remembering what I wanted to say until an hour later. It happens. :)

Well ma’am, I have bad news. I am 19 years old and I’m experiencing that either so we can agree on that I’m not old so that makes you a young lady and I wouldn’t even question that!!!

Laughing here as i sometimes call my younger son by my elder son's name and there are 21 years between them, he doesn't much like his brother so it does not go down well, and then i can't remember which of them did certain things like those days have all fused into one.
Remembering which day it is also confuses me but i suppose it's all down to old age really..

Thank you Stella for a delightful review!

I smiled Betty because you aren’t alone. Happens to all of us as we turn the pages of years of living. It isn’t so bad if you have someone around who can fill in the missing link. Recently both my husband and I forgot the name of a marina friend at the same time. We were stumped for ages before the fog lifted. So relatable. All you can do is laugh. 🌹

[Betty Hermelee]

you are so right! laugh! thank you dear Chris🌷🌷

I've always been rubbish with people's names which is non to great when managing 150+ people:)
I guess it'll only get worse as I progress through my 60's
