Anyone Else Have Mild Dementia?

I just finished reading all the posts, but I do not think I belong here. I am much older than most of you. Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 88 years old. I have noticed that I lose words. I thought this might be dementia, but after a while they come back again, so maybe it isn't. I have had a very rough time lately. Just over a year ago my husband of 59 years died. Shortly thereafter I had to have a complete hip replacement. I now have no fear of going to Hell when I die because it could not be worse than the "skilled nursing facility" I was sent to. I really have no idea how I survived it. I had my last physical therapy session last Wednesday. I have exercises I am supposed to do every day. Next appointment with ortho is January, 2023.

You sound like a very strong person and hey, I'm 71 and lose words so don't worry about it. I am very sorry t read the your lost your husband and dad to deal with a hip replacement without him. My husband had 2 hips replaced and needed me very much. I'm sure it was very difficult for you. I hope that you have one or 2 people that you can talk to and gain support from even if it is in a small way. We all need someone to talk too. I wish you all the best...you are a real trooper!
