She says Alzheimer is when you forget what the toliet is for. I'm hanging onto that. Another friend says if you know your name, the day of the week and where you live you are okay. Your conversation with B sounds like mine with David. BTW I got that book on the big meltdown you discussed a day or two ago, I forget when.

Use it or lose it.<br /><br /> Being an avid bluegrass jammer, I regularly push myself to memorize lyrics to new songs - some songs being quite voluminous in the storylines. :0 It used to be quite a labor - and still is, to a lesser degree.

In my community, there is a monthly event called "Mental Health Trivia" where we and about 200 of our neighbors gather to test the limits of our memories and it really is a good exercise in recall. It's amazing what lurks in that gray matter and can be coaxed out, given a little time.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.com
