In the last few weeks I have:

• Repeatedly forgotten words
• Totally lost at least two days
• Informed my mum that she is going for lunch with group of people including Mrs S.  Mum told me that wasn’t right.  I told her it was.  We discussed, me assuming Mum was just in a bit of a muddle.  Until Mum remembered enough words to remind me that Mrs S died last year. I’d totally forgotten.
• Bought a birthday card for a lovely friend.  Totally forgot to write and send card – only realising two weeks later
• Sent a card to another lovely friend.  And then discovered it was two months early.
• Then found out I did exactly the same last year…🤦🏼‍♀️

And that’s just a few examples.  When I am with Mum I seem to progressively lose the ability to retain or articulate words.  She seems to think it’s very funny…

So, I have come to the only conclusion I could: that I have dementia by proxy.

And then this week I received a message from my GP surgery asking if I’d like to sign up for a Menopause Information Evening to discuss topics such as brain fog.

Obviously, I totally forgot to sign up.

So while I imagine that the menopause or peri menopause or whatever is far more likely to be the culprit here than dementia by proxy, frankly I don’t have the time for that sort of thing.  In the words of this amazing lady ‘ain’t nobody got time for that’ 😂
