Forgetful.........

[Anonymous-0]

I joke around about being forgetful. Took a couple knocks on the head over the years with a horse throwing me and giving a pretty goo egg about 10 years ago. Short term memory suffers a little now and then. I go from not being able to tell you what I dids an hour ago to remembering phone numbers I called as a kid like a wave.... Anyway, I have tools in doubles and triples+, yada yada. Orderedf a fence charger yesterday, was looking for a bridle today that I put away and by the time I found it, found 3 brand new, still in the box fence chargers that I had bought at different times "in case one dumps"..... Guess it's worse than I thought :roll: Positive side, I now have enough to send some broke parmaks to be fixed.......

I only wish I didnt have similiar problems. I can name 3 things right off the top of my head that are missing, & yet shouldnt be! 1) a bottle of TV LCD screen cleaner which cost $10 or so. I spent over an hour looking for it. I have the box it came with. For 18mo. that bottle stayed within sight of the Chair I am in now. TV, & computer monitor in the same room. Still missing today! I cant imagine what I did with it!

That's why I have a routine for about everything. When I get up, I follow the same steps every morning....from finding the glasses to shaving.
My truck keys are always in the same place on the counter by the door, the gargage door opener in the truck is always after click the belt...etc.
Now, if you want to mess me up, move something or disrupt my routine....I am lost for at least 15 minutes.
I have even driven back home to insure I closed the gargage door...don't ask why I have to do that.
Fun getting older.

One thing I've found with CRS. I meet new people and visit new places every day.

The medical community has found that short term memory loss is not actually loss of memory. Instead it is the reduced ability of occurrences to IMPRINT in our memories. My research, with the help of my daughter who is a PHD in neurology, has taken this one step further. I have found that memory of seniors is every bit as good as younger people. The problem is that with our life experience we have gained so much knowledge, about so many things, that we are constantly having far deeper, more meaningful thoughts about many subjects than younger people have. This constant accelerated thought process just naturally makes it difficult for daily mundane things like where we left our glasses, or when did we drive by the hardware store, much more difficult to get through and "imprint" in our minds. Such power we old folks have available! we need only to figure out how to harness it!

Prolly one of the reasons that folks find me a little (OK alot) abrasive......
I always tell the truth and am honest, don't screw around on the wife, always try to stay within laws, etc....
If I did any different and had to talk my way out of it, I'd forget what lie I used if/when I had to tell the story again :roll:

I can relate to the memory thing --- last year I had a heart attack and was out for 8 days. Since then it seems that my memory is NOT what it used to be -- asked the Dr. and he said "As sick as you were and as long as you were out- you are bound to have lost a few brain cells"
Not what I wanted to hear -- If I would admit I had some forgetfullness before.
But if I can't find something now - I go back to my chair- think about something else - then go right to whatever I was looking for --- USUALLY -- NOT Always.
Don't let it upset you or you will be MAD all the time

I've backed into 2 trailers, pulled the pigtails off 3 times, and lost the quad off one because I forgot to strap it down and put the tailgate on the trailer.

At choir practice, one older gent insisted that we hadn't practiced the anthem for the coming Sunday before. After being assured that we had been working on it for the past 2 weeks, he brightened up and said, "Well, one thing about Altzheimers, I never get bored with the music!"

The only disturbing part of this was that he was a neurosurgeon, still practicing medicine.

I really believe a lot of truth in this one Too much information gets banked but we don't know the file we put it in.

Things that scare me is like looking for that 7/16 wrench that I was just using didn't remember moving more that a few feet with it but know it was out of my hand as I used another tool.or a screwdriver . after looking around the area many times where I am working only to find it in my back pocket.

 

[elmersooner]

was looking for my keys the other day--getting mad that I couldn't find them--they were in my hand......found the remote in the fridge same day. was out in the heat too long.

 

[Ultradog MN]

My memory is not as good as I remember it being.

The other day, wife asked me if when she gets old, and gets Alzheimers and gets more forgetful, will I please tell her?

I told her she would just forget that I had told her.

As we age, we become less concerned with here and now life, and more concerned with the hereafter. As my mother says, Dammit, what did I come in hereafter?
