The truth about growing old

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! :)
