I see you have a lovely dog and at least they don't judge us and our forgetfulness. It isn't easy when you have had a brilliant memory is it? I could remember names, events, birthdays - you name it but not so now. It's so annoying isn't it? You have my sympathy but just remember you aren't alone........

Brain fog???

I have put the kitchen phone in the fridge whilst 'replacing' the bottle of milk in the phone cradle.

This is my worst ever. I recently boiled the kettle to make tea, the phone rang which was sat on the kitchen windowsill so I picked up the kettle to answer it!!! My daughter jumped to stop me burning my face. :O Don't trust myself multitasking any more, well especially not in the kitchen. Lol!

Take a look at 'any one else loosing it?' (the links in my profile) Some good ones there!

Forget where the car is parked on a regular basis to the point of tears, trudging around, row after row, not good. Repeating the same thing to someone, completely oblvious until reminded. Unable to concentrate on anything for very long and finding myself preferring to be on my own, ignoring the phone etc as it is less complicated. The funny thing is .... my OH has a terrible memory since he had a brain bleed .... his is so much better now, I used to be reasonably bright with a great memory, now I wonder if it the thyroid issues or am I heading for demetia?
