Hi all. I am 84yrs and am thinking I may be experiencing mild IM to a degree so I have been dealing with it by joking and telling/warning people not to expect me to remember more than 3 things...I am dyslexic so am not sure if this is part of it? I use this fact to hide behind when I make a faut pas etc. I also make lists, write on calendars....and print out important emails to file. It is much worse if I am force to do something quickly or unexpectedly in an angry or tense manner. Being slightly deaf does not help. I try to do things slowly and chk things twice...because of doing certain things sometimes in the wrong order can make me forget something(not always crucial tho')I hesitate to get an actual diagnosis of "Mild Cognitive Anything" as that could result in me not being taken seriously as an artist and writer....As for house work I let it go for the most part and My son takes up the slack...I need my time and energy for working in the studio(which is now in my living room. As for entertainment of family & friends I do that outside on the picnic table or we go to a fav restaurent. As my husband(deceased since 15 yrs--& a psychiatrist) use to say "You don't have to worry until you start putting your underwear in the fridge!!" Hope this helps someone....laughing is good. Sorry for going on and on. . PS Here is a pic from one of my shows & other works
