The truth about growing old is…………….

Shit! Now I forgot what I was gonna tell ya…..
Really, this happens to me all the time and it scares me. I’m not kidding, it really scares me! It especially scares me when I hear my mother in law recounting something that happened 60 years ago and she remembers dates and details. Today I saw a picture of my niece’s wedding and there was my daughter fulfilling the role of candle lighter. What? Where was I? I don’t remember that and it was only about 18 years ago. Maybe I wasn’t invited. Maybe I had something else to do that night. Yeah, I don’t believe it either.
Does anyone else feel they can’t remember squat? I see people and their name escapes me. I start telling a story and then forget what I was going to say. I go to a room to get something and forget what I went after.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh…….I want to scream.
Please tell me it’s not just me? It all started after I had a complete hysterectomy. I think they took brain cells as well as female parts and while they can keep the female junk…..I WANT MY BRAIN CELLS BACK!
Please? Pretty please?

I wouldn’t worry to much about your memory loss.
I was told not to worry about forgetting what I had for dinner the night before. Forgetting what a fork and knife are and how and why they are used is a much bigger problem.

I have all sorts of gaps in my memory that I am sure are from aging. However, I blame it on the 5 surgeries I’ve had in the last two years … all those drugs! So far when I use that as an excuse everyone believes me! :)
