Am I losing it too?
Two weeks ago, I had my annual wellness visit and I scored 100% on the memory test, including counting back by 7's. Last week, my husband's brain PET Scan results came into MyChart. He has Alzheimer's. Since then, we have looked at senior living communities in person and rented an apartment near our children. I feel as if I can't remember anything and I think I misplaced my son's house key. I don't want to think I am losing it, yet that's how it feels. Very worried. Has anyone experienced this and did it resolve for you? Thank you!

Thanks ☺️
I am currently the only one awake, so I said, "Happy f@#&ing birthday" to myself.
Life is so weird right now, like we're all in a bad movie.
I will attempt to enjoy my birthday today, thanks so much for your kind words. 🤗

8 Reactions@dsand3 Oh wow, thank you for sharing the example of leaving groceries in the car - I feel better for reading that even though I am also sorry you had that experience. We looked at CCRC's this week and chose the one we like best. I read a post about completing the paperwork for memory care early (as in now) so that if something happens - such as an unexpected injury or medical issue for us - the paperwork is already done. I'm going to ask the CCRC we like if it is possible to do that there. Thank you again - I can see myself leaving groceries in the car and will feel better when it happens. Grace!

4 Reactions@fred1 Thank you - you have a history of discipline! I appreciate your advice about getting illnesses or infections taken care of ASAP. I am always hesitant to take my physician's time until there's no other option. I'm putting your good advice on my reminder list so I don't forget it. Thank you again!

2 Reactions@judimahoney - what an interesting and meaningful way to put it! Often in life, friends meet due to common interests, jobs, kids, and with war buddies, they may not have had anything in common except the awful experiences they share. Like us. Thanks for this, Judi! (And for being there for all of us)
