Yesterday day at Walmart I had three items in my basket. I was at the check out stand and looked in my basket. There wer only two items there. I told the cashier that I must have dropped my third item somewhere in the store and that I would go get a replacement. Just then I looked at the counter and there was the third item! In a matter of seconds I had forgotten that I had placed the third item on the counter! I had looked all over my cart looking for that third item.
This is a matter of concern to me. Especially the Walmart checkout. I had absolutely no memory of placing that item on the counter.
I think (and hope) you are jumping to conclusions. My wife and I both agree those instances seem normal. Just our opinions, from afar.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. It must feel quite unsettling. I will pray for you and, like the other comment, hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many memory problems in the last year or so. Hope it does not get worse. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteIn my previous working life, I was a psychologist. And I did many tests for dementia. This episode in itself does not alarm me much (I may have a vested interest in thinking so at age 73) but if there is a pattern, you might worry. Still, you continue to function well and write well. If I were you, I would ask the people who know me if they've noticed a decline.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an enjoyable person. I wouldn't want you to be getting discouraged over something no one else has noticed. So ask!!
