The Aging Brain

Memory loss/ brain fog: prompt :Ravin Ink

Let’s see… you know it’s that thing you open up to heat up food… it um is the nuker, and so I thought about it practically in my sleep…then two days later, I remember the name “ microwave!!
In addition I get my kids and grandkids names mixed up!!! Nothing like growing old… it scares the heck out of me….brain fog.. yes I have that lovely condition as well…. Should I go on????

You Betty are unique my lovely .. not in the sense that you are loosing it by virtue of some sinister creeping thingy .. sugar, the D word momentarily eludes me .. but just becuz you is .. Take my word for it, I lose them too and truly .. It happens all the time .. I sumtimes even forget who I might be ..
Yours, Nigel 😎🐧🍷👍x

Laughing here as i sometimes call my younger son by my elder son's name and there are 21 years between them, he doesn't much like his brother so it does not go down well, and then i can't remember which of them did certain things like those days have all fused into one.
Remembering which day it is also confuses me but i suppose it's all down to old age really..

Thank you Stella for a delightful review!

I smiled Betty because you aren’t alone. Happens to all of us as we turn the pages of years of living. It isn’t so bad if you have someone around who can fill in the missing link. Recently both my husband and I forgot the name of a marina friend at the same time. We were stumped for ages before the fog lifted. So relatable. All you can do is laugh. 🌹

you are so right! laugh! thank you dear Chris🌷🌷

I've always been rubbish with people's names which is non to great when managing 150+ people:)
I guess it'll only get worse as I progress through my 60's

(I really fear of memory loss .. coz I was on that condition, by grace I didn't tied to long... )
Wonder as we aging brain works in reverse.. interesting writing.. :) is that by warmly ...two days lately 😅...
We register the character but can't remember the name, it is usual with old people... kids these days love to prank with on it and make it as so entertaining...
Is this too on prompt.., I didn't seen it yet😅

Yes Betty, I have one if those make food hotly things too, I keep it in whatsitsname... the room at the back of the house with the sit down things to eat off the flat bit of dead tree!
Kids and grandkids csn forgive a lot, until you mix up their names, then they look at you like you just called them a very rude word!
Of course, they'll forgive you when you hand over the Christmas presents though!
Forgetfulness is no laughing matter, but wouldn't it be a hoot to buy them all the same Al Jolson greatest hits cd and see them pretend a thanks to you?

My mum done the same, going through all the kids before getting to the correct one. I wouldn't mind so much, but being called my three sisters names first was a bit of a dent to my ego... but not as much as the dogs!

[Betty Hermelee]

Very funny, but not so either!😊
