Suggest Treatment For Short Term Memory Loss
A couple of weeks ago I was at my sons house and got ready to leave. I reached down to get my purse and I picked it up. However, when I picked it up I asked my daughter-in-law if it was her purse because I couldn t remember that it was mine. I have carried the same purse for over a year. They were all horrified because I didn t remember it was mine. I was embarrassed and laughed it off. I am retired and 63. Is this normal? I try to play games to keep my mind active.
