Sorry I messed up on who had the bad depression. You can see why I'm pretty sure I have senile dementia but the doc ignores my questions about it.

Hello everyone....have not the time to go back very far in this thread. Up to my ears in dog deadline. Did go back one page to see Merlin's skirt. Quite handsome. Kath...still suffering from your burn? Must have been a very bad one. Get well. Bikini, Annie? WOW.... Hope everyone is doing well and that you all have a terrific week. Hope to catch up on the weekend.

Hello Nona! Thanks for asking about my sunburn - I'm still peeling and using tons of lotion but this was a huge learning experience for me - beaches can totally fry a person!
 
Hi Nona. I wore a bikini last winter in Thailand as almost everyone wears one no matter their body size or shape. Find it more comfortable than one piece.

Kath, did I read in a previous that you had worn sunscreen? Not strong enough? Hope you stop peeling soon!

Back to Glasgow today for overnight. Early bus Thursday to Inverness and dh's grandson.

are you serious Kath?...surely not?..it was an easy mistake to make on a forum, I do it all the time, speed read and get things mixed up. I realise that clearly things must be happening in your life that has you concerned enough to approach your GP..but I can't understand why your Doctor would ignore your concerns , you must insists he listens to you.

Don't worry, my memory is really bad and I do some things that make me wonder if I've 'lost the plot'. Turned on the Nespresso machine today and had the coffee coming down but hadn't put the cup there first!

I often read too quickly and miss the whole point of a post! You're fine. Don't worry.

The only thing my family doctor has done with regard to my dementia fear is to give me a memory test. The test is pretty simple - the doc tells me to try to remember 3 words that he gives me and then he starts talking about lots of other things for awhile and then suddenly asks me to say the 3 words he gave me earlier. I remember the words but, gee whiz, it's only 3 words! If it were ten words, that would be a test with some teeth! In any event, the doc laughs at me when I get worried about memory loss - I'm so happy that I can lighten up his mood! Since I do have other more serious chronic illness, I do wonder why I don't worry more about those health concerns instead of what's going on in my brain.
 
My doctor gave me a memory test on my last visit.. It consisted of remembering 3 random words given to me which he would later in the visit ask me to repeat. However, he forgot to ask me and I forgot to remind him... lol!!!!!

OH kath honestly I would never remember 10 words...and I hope I don't have any kind of senility. I do understand your concern tho', because I really have lost a lot of short term memory but in all honesty common sense tells me that it's just something that happens to us as we age.. try not to worry about it chikadee.
 
Holly - You are a much calmer gal than I am! My sister thinks I worry a lot because I was the oldest kid in our big family. For sure, I'm definitely not aging gracefully!

QS - You took the same test as I did but yours had a convenient escape mechanism! :glee:
 
I worry about my short term memory as well but it's normal. Every single one of us has walked into a room only to forget the reason.
 
Spent the night in Glasgow after a really lovely dinner and evening at in laws. Now on the 7.30 coach to Inverness arriving at 11. Visiting grandson and his parents for 2 days.

We've got a funeral in Glasgow sometime next week as dh's brother died.
 
Annie, I'm sorry that you had a death in the family - always a sad time.

You and Holly made me realize that I'm not so different regarding memory - thanks for giving me a bit of a head-knock 'cause I needed it.
 
Annie so sorry to hear you've lost your B-i-l...was it expected? Condolences to you , your husband and family.


Kath glad we've put your mind at rest...you know what, sometimes you need to speak to people who are at the same stage of life as you about certain things before they overwhelm you, which is why a forum like SF is so great at times.:D

Kath, if you have dementia....then I do also. I had to ponder that post also. Because of the tense I kind of assumed it was Annie's husband's ex. I do not think we forget as much as as we grow "old" we have so much info in our heads that we unconsciously become selective about what we absorb and retain. At least this is what I try to convince my children of....even though at times my son calls me Alice (short for Alzheimer) This is my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
Taking a day trip up to Long Grove Illinois.. a little town close to the Wisconsin border.. Not unlike Galena Illinois.. quaint shops and antiquing.. something to do to take our minds off things..
