Yes, I know that alzheimeric isn't really a word. It's a great way to describe the "moments" I've been having lately, though. I have alzheimeric moments. I don't use it jokingly. I am quite serious, because to be honest, I think that I am a prime candidate for Alzheimer's Disease when I'm a little older.
The week that Dronda was visiting, she arrived here on Thursday. I always get my allergy shots on Wednesdays after work. COMPLETELY forgot to stop and get it. Did not even have an inkling of memory to do so until the next day. Okay, my memory is bad, but it's never been that bad.
Today was allergy shot day. I even thought of it this morning, because I saw it written on my calendar. What did I do though? I drove straight home. And didn't even realize that I'd forgotten until I called Chris to ask him to stop at my desk on his way out of the office to pick up the cough drops I forgot there. Within a 10 minute period, I had a double whammy! What is going on with my brain?
Just weird stuff...like I saw the woman that gives me my allergy shot every week when we were at PetSmart over the weekend, and I could not remember her name.
Another example: I had to email my mom one day for my grandma and grandpa's mailing address. They've lived in that condo for years and years! I always know it! And I was thinking it was 2 numbers and really it was 4! Hello!
These things really worry me...one day, I'm afraid that all of my memories are going to be gone and I'll be left with a blank slate...
Are there any sort of brain exercises I can be doing????

I know this is frustrating to you. and a bit scary to think about. Maybe right now your brain is just on overload with everything that is going on. and with you not feeling well. Hopefully it will all get better. :)
Well, I agree with Kim. You have a lot going on right now at home AND at work and a person's brain can only handle so much. I don't remember things nearly as well as I used to, but I blame it on being a Mommy AND being pregnant.
Overload it is ~ way too much going on for one mind let alone 10 minds. When things slow down I think you'll notice a difference. Brain clutter I think.
