Just wondering .......
Goodness...even I may not be able to recall a sentence later!I have to have memory tests and balance assessment next week. I have already had some tests which I mostly passed but failed miserably on the one where you have to remember a sentence and repeat it later on in the test. Somehow it indicated I have a glitch in my ability to connect/remember something that is written down. Have just had a tilt table test and they seem to think my dizziness is caused by dehydration..... The plot thickens ......

Prayers for both of you.I realize some is normal aging, but I truly feel fragile in body, mind.... and even spirit these days.
My past serious illnesses have taken their toll, and my body is showing it in many ways.
Thanks for your prayers Sue; you also have mine!Prayers for both of you.
I think some memory loss is natural with ageing. I remember visiting a lady in her seventies, some years ago, and she would forget occasional words. She knew what she meant to say, but couldn't find the correct term for it. Now that is happening to me in my sixties. Also when I watch quizzes I cannot usually remember the previous question which has been asked, even though it may have been something I knew the answer to. However I think this may be due to side effects of medication.
I think stress/distress can take its toll too. My severe memory loss in my fifties, was due to trauma. Actually it was a blessing in disguise because it meant that I had to take time out which is what I needed to deal with the issue. As I recovered my memory ability returned but not completely. When I email friends, with about four or five substantial paragraphs, it can take me about five hours.
I hope your test gets to the root of the issue Ley, and that your memory is as it should be for our age group, and I pray for strength in all the areas of your life which you mention Gail.
Just wondering: what are your memories like for significant past events?
