Brain freeze to all who...

Have you ever thought you were getting some form of memory loss and then you realized that it only happens every once and while, not daily, or frequently enough to count…yet.

Most of us have forgotten where we put this or that, or who that was that did such and such whenever that was, got that?

It’s normal to some degree that we of the maturity generation hearing through the grapevine, when we think we actually did HEAR, but when does it become a problem that we should really genuinely be worrying about?

Oh don’t do that, worry that is, it only makes your memory burp into disastrous forgetfulness! Stress has proven to create fear and fear can make you forget everything…even your own name!

But when should one be a wee bit concerned?
I don’t know I am not the right person to ask.
I do believe it takes a neurologist to diagnosis clinical forgetfulness or dementia.

And so all I can do is wonder if forgetting common words while engaged in a general conversation should be of troubling concern for me or my peers around me?
It’s a wee bit of food for thought or try hard to remember, eh?

I just got distracted, so sorry, but two Grackles were doing a noisy mating dance, rather gracefully, in the backyard under our bird feeder, and it was really very cute.
Oh for those of you who don’t know the species, ‘Grackles’, are medium sized black birds that could be mistaken for crows the only difference is they have yellow eyes.
We do have a perfect habitat for birds with our feeder with the baffle to prevent the squirrel, our one and only one, I think, from getting the seed, a birdbath, and our fish pond with fountain and waterfall.
Many an afternoon Hubby is out there under our lanai on the patio reading and bird watching.
I, on the other hand would love to be out more but darn with my MS the temperature fluctuations make my spasms go kefluey, Tobism sorry! Plus one of my medications has restrictions about sun exposure; oh that’s me…so much fun!

Any-who today we went back to the grocery; I know we were just there, weren’t we?
Gosh we eat often and a lot. LOL
Anyway, our fish monger in the store has a child who has Autism, and so I suggested he contact Autism Speaks, autismspeaks.org, for helpful information since he said that his daughter lost so many of her services. We all should become advocates for anything we believe in. When it hits home that’s when we automatically get fired up rightfully so, now all my fire has turned into helping the others network for themselves.

Just had a slight writing break due to chest pains, most likely caused by gas, since I am back here now. If it was something serious I wouldn’t be here, now would I? LOL

On that fascinating pronouncement I will bid you all a good night and to all count your blessings and we will too!


PS another interesting happening just occurred with our Skipper, our Bichon Frise, he has lately been barking at nothing that we can see; he did just now, and me, I also in that same vein have thought I heard things too….ooh, ooh … that proved to be nothing. I told Hubby that perhaps Skipper has medium/psychic abilities, and mine must be extra larges LOL!
