Memory!

I was just going to ask a question, and totally forgot what it was I was going to ask!

This happens often to me.  I try to keep it light hearted and laugh about it, but to be honest, it scares me to pieces.

So I guess this isn't a question, just a statement!

Happy Friday!!!!

Maureen

I have mobility problems, and I've had cognitive problems - of the two, I'd much rather have problems with mobility.  Although it makes things tough sometimes!

I have a friend with MS I've known since I was a kid...too many years ago. She's been in a wheel chair for 15 years and has no cognitive problems...My memory is getting worse. I think I'd rather be in the wheel chair.

Very frustrating, isn't it!

All I can tell you is that this problem comes and goes.  Sometimes my memory's great.  I've had a run for more than a month of REMEMBERING phone numbers!  Wow - for a year and a half, I couldn't remember strings of numbers longer than four.  Now I'm remembering whole numbers - area code and all.  Not that this lasts long - it helps if it's a number I'm calling all the time.

Sometimes a memory will slip out of my short to long term and I can't recall the memory.  But if somebody mentions it to me, then I'll be able to drag it out.  Mostly my problem is getting my short term memory into my long term.
