Dear 904dmt,
Slower name recall, such as you describe, is common with aging, and not necessarily a sign of serious cognitive decline. Your neurologist is a good person to ask. If you're an AARP member, they offer free cognitive tests on line.
Meanwhile, it's a good thing for all of us to simplify our lives and get all end-of-life planning and information in order. _Get It Together_ from Nolo Press is a workbook for this. Once you do this, you'll find your worry burden is lighter.

Good evening @edsutton, I would like to start my return to Mayo Connect mentoring with a response to a Mayo Connect member and monitor who I have been following.....even when I was unable to respond due to my unstable mind. I do remember appreciating your replies rather frequently. Although I have been listed as a mentor for six years, I have been unable to perform the tasks of a mentor as I struggled to recover from physical restrictions and was quite emotionally challenged for a few months by a temperamental personality. Thanks for your help. I am ready to accept today's challenges.
