You can always speak with your doctor, but it sounds like you are very engaged and aware. My dad had Alz, but wa not affected that much until his late 80’s.

Based on what I have experienced and read, I intend to stay social, active, interact with multiple people daily, and continue working (my job requires substantial complex mental exercises and problem solving) in some capacity.

@celia16 ...yes we appreciate what we have, to an extent..whats the old saying I forget exactly: nothing to fear but fear itself...? Many of us fear demntia and know someone who has/had it... wonderful neighbour around my age and then asking us to go to her house as female visitor there etc etc even made the imaginary visitor a sandwich... when we, husband or I, forget something or simply cannot remember what day of the week it is, we do worry....
