Do you ever have trouble keeping up with your things?  

Hello.nanayangel.
That's so terrible~~
I didn't know when women gave birth to child,they have to use the anesthesia,yeah,the drug is bad for memory,but do all of women use anesthesia when in delivery???
And we all forget things sometime,it's nothing serious,just remember it again, all we have to do is repeat as many times as we can~~
Happy mylotting

I didn't know this happened to women who give birth. I don't have any children so I never have had this experience. I never heard my mother or my sisters complain of this. This is interesting. It might depend on the person. I think I've heard of people being forgetful after surgery due to the anesthesia. I don't know.

Don't worry because I have trouble remembering people's names after I meet them, too. I didn't have this problem when I was younger. When I went off to college in the '70s, I met so many people up there and that's when I started having problems. I know faces but not names. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.

I drink a lot of water all the time. I try to drink about six to eight glasses a day. I can't tell that it helps my memory that much, though. I think it's just normal aging. Plus, my mother had alzheimer's and I have that to consider, too. I don't worry about it that much, though. I started a discussion about drinking water not too long ago and I couldn't believe all the responses I got. You might want to check it out. I have a very dry throat due to sjogren's syndrome so I have to drink a lot of water.

I do need to be a little more organized, though, that's for sure. I have a big house, too, and I feel like that might make a difference. Have you ever gone to a particular room and forgotten what it was you went in there for? I've done that plenty of times, lol. Kathy.

hi cyrus,
six glasses of water a day is too small.you must drink at least 5 liters of water a day.i usually drink about 6 liters of water a day.

You are so right! I need to get more organized. I have a big house, though, and it's easy to lose things in it. As I told one of the mylotters, I will sometimes go to a particular room and forget what it was I went in there for. Have you ever done that? Kathy.

OH YES, i do not all the time, have been for years so don't get worried about that yet.. do get organized tho if will make you not have the stress of hunting for your keyes etc.

Like I said in my discussion, I have a place where I hang my keys all the time but sometimes just before I go out the door, I will put them down somewhere and forget where it was I put them. I haven't done this in a long time but it's aggravating, especially when I'm in a hurry. Kathy.

I always keep my keyes in my purse. I locked myself out of the house once years ago so i have tried to be careful of that since then. We all do things we wish we hadn't or don't understand why we did them.. Have a good weekend, Kathy.

I believe this is very true! Fatigue as well as age affects losing things. As far as fatigue, I work out everyday and that keeps me from tiring as easily. I try to keep my glasses and cell phone with me at all times. I still sometimes put them down and forget where it was I put them. It's very frustratng, isn't it? Kathy.

I hardly ever put my cell phone on silent mode. That way, if I lose it, I can always call it. Like I said in my discussion, I have a special place where I hang my car keys in the house but I have put them down somewhere just before I started to leave and forgotten where I put them. This isvery frustrating, especially if I'm in a hurry.There's no telling how many pairs of glasses I've lost. I believe I left the last pair of prescription glasses I had at the assisted living facility where I go to sing once a month. That was the last time I remember wearing them, anyway. Nobody who works there or lives there ever found them, though. There's no telling what happened to them. I need to be careful and not leave them at places like this any more. In the meantime, I have some little reading glasses I can wear. Kathy.

I need a little pouch or bag to wear on my shoulder for the phone. Clipping to the belt just causes me to lose it.

Having a bag is better than clipping. I am planning to use it in my life too!

Cyrus: Did you use two kind of glasses?

Hi sanuanu! I haven't heard from you in a long time! Where have you been? I'm not sure if I know what you mean by two kinds of glasses. I did have a pair of prescription glasses that I lost at the assisted living facility and I have a little pair of reading glasses that I use since I've lost them. I would use the reading glasses whenever I didn't know where my other glasses were. The prescription glasses are the ones I got from the eye doctor and the reading glasses are just some little ones I bought at Dollar General. Kathy.

Yes, I think it's normal, especially the older you get. It doesn't do any good to panic, though. That just makes things worse. It gets frustrating for me, especially when I'm in a hurry. It's a good idea to focus your mind on what you're doing and list things, like you said. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.

It looks like spilling milk on the stove would be dangerous. I don't have a gas stove, though, so I don't know that much about them. My stove is built inside a cabinet. Have you ever gone to a particular room in the house and forgot why it was you went in there? I've done this! I've also opened the refrigerator and forgotten what it was I was looking for. I think it's just a normal sign of aging.Kathy.

Thank you. Where can I get these audio books? Are they available at the library? I'm living on a fixed income and I can't afford to spend too much money. I don't worry about it that much but it can get frustrating at times. I'm aware that it could be a normal sign of aging. My mother ad alzheimer's and I tend to think about that at times, too. She was already in her 80s when she first started getting it, though, and I'm just 57. Kathy.

I'm not worried about it or anything. I don't take it seriously, either. It can get pretty frustrating, though!Yes, I'm aware that we all forget things but it gets worse the older you get. What's so frustrating about it is that you can be starting to go somewhere and you try to make sure you have everything you need. You realize you're missing one little item and it takes you forever to find it.When you finally do find it, you end up being late to wherever it was you're going. I know young people are forgetful sometimes. I'm also aware that forgetfulness is a normal sign of aging but there is alzheimer's in my family, too, and you tend to think about that as well. Kathy.

I know just how you feel. I sometimes will be looking for something and it will be in my hand the whole time. This is especially true if my hands are full of other things as well as the thing I was looking for, lol. Thank you for responding and happy mylotting. Kathy.
