Entry FeedI just read, Still Alice by Lisa Genova, Ph. D. Now, of course, I am convinced that I have Early Onset Alzheimer's.
Don't laugh. I also just took a memory test online, and it said that I should consult my physician. And you can have symptoms in your thirties!
OK - so maybe it is a little bit of hypochondria.
But here's some more evidence:
Today I went to the grocery store for ham and buns. $130.27 later, I went to pay and my wallet wasn't in my purse! Of course there was a line-up behind me, and the cash was the only one open (I know! How embarrassing!) I called my Husband, who luckily works nearby, and he came and paid.
I came home and looked for my wallet. Weird part - it was in another purse, one that I haven't used in a few weeks. I used my wallet and my black purse last night. There was no reason I would have moved it to my green purse, and I have no recollection of moving it.
A few weeks ago I lost my driver's license. I remember seeing it in my purse one day, and then a few days later I needed it and *poof* it was gone. Yesterday I finally went to the MTO and got a new one.
I've also lost a brand new pair of socks. Still in the package! I really want to find them, and soon.
And I forgot about Son One's T-Ball game. I checked the calendar last Monday and realized that he had missed a game on Sunday.
Today I forgot that Son One has a doctor's appointment and needs to leave school early. I will now have to call the school since I didn't send a note in.
I used to be so on top of things. I never needed to keep calendars because I always knew when everything was. I never forgot anything! Now I feel like nothing sticks in my head. I've heard that Mommy Brain is a myth. So it must be Alzheimer's.
