My most oft times memory lapse.....Delightful post.<br /><br />My most oft times memory lapse... I find myself regarding a person (sometimes face to face) and while I have an instinctive memory for the FIRST letter of their first name, I usually pick the wrong name. Example... calling my friend Gina, who I see every day, "Gail" the other day. My friends at the office get a kick out of it. I, on the other hand, wonder if it portends some future memory skills loss. quidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954222271507913856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-82293961171127118262014-04-17T19:03:41.152-05:002014-04-17T19:03:41.152-05:00nice info, it happens to me a lot now, too.

I had my debit card and driver's license in my hand, and consciously thought "I do not want to shove these in my pocket. I will lose them." Long story short, this morning, I had to go to get groceries. Could not find my debit card and driver's license. I distinctly remembered having that little debate with myself, but was at a loss of what I'd done after that. After a full, frustrating 1/2 hour, it suddenly occurred to me that my work coat has two inside pockets that snap shut for security. Had I...? Yes. Yes I had. It made me feel much better about my cognitive functioning, but my memory still leaves much to be desired.

My MIL had Alzheimer's, so I'm always wondering if what we're experiencing is "normal" or something more. <br /><br />I love working the crossword (cryptoquote and Sudoku) each day, but I've read that doing so actually just makes you good at solving crosswords rather than improving your memory. Supposedly, doing something new - like learning another language or a new skill (photography, playing an instrument, etc.) - is better for that purpose. Even something as simple as taking a different route to work can help. <br /><br />Can you tell I pay close attention when I see articles and information about this topic?!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-348117936832441202014-03-30T08:47:17.566-05:002014-03-30T08:47:17.566-05:00Uggghhh happening to me more and more...Uggghhh happening to me more and more...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494823779999456396noreply@blogger.com
