Yep! That's what the experts say! ... I remember my husband's sweet grandma in the Alzheimer's facility when she refused to put in her false teeth one morning and they called us for help. Sitting there with her, I realized that she simply didn't know what they were and, if that were me, I wouldn't want the contraption placed in my mouth, either, poor thing!
Keys. I have a timely collection locked up in storage. Only one, the skeleton key, opens more than one door, but useless to me locked in closed doors. If it were the key to life, I’d be worried. My house key is attached to a lucky stone that is in pants pocket. I can find it easily, but putting in the key hole slot is another thing that I often miss on the first try.
Every time I have trouble putting on a piece of clothing, like where's the arm hole and which is a neck, I wonder if it's time for assisted living arrangements.
Hah! You know how when the computer isn't working right and you just shut it down for a few minutes? And then you reboot? At our stage in life, that should be the metaphor. Take the t-shirt completely off and start over.
If I had a nickel for every minute I spent looking for my glasses each day! Of course it’s hard to find something when you need your glasses to find it!
John, my friend, be proactive! It only gets worse. Get a shoe lace and hang them around your neck. Ha ha ha. Or buy a spare so you can use them when searching for the other pair.
Encouraging! I do still remember what the keys are for... and I do hang them on the hook by the door MOST of the time. Its important to CHECK for keys in hand when I walk out the door, but when there is something in each, I sometimes close the door behind me and then realize the door key and the car keys are still inside. ooops. The secret hollow rock hidden in the porch has saved me a couple of times. There was a time I took something from the kitchen to take to the living room, and when I got there, I was amazed to find something in my hand. THAT one concerned me. This week I could not figure out how to do something I've done near daily for 50 years. I felt like such a dummy. I DID figure it out by Friday. Brain cells gathered one more time. I don't liket his kind of challenge.
Thanks for reading these little things, CJ. They look simple, but they are actually quite tricky. Sometimes I get it, sometimes it doesn't work. This one turned out to be a conversation...not much of a story there..
I can relate to this! 😁

A truly sad situation. So many of us go through this hard time with our old ones. And then... suddenly... we become the old ones... sigh
Definitely something to consider! 😅😂
Yep. I figure that as long as I can remember where I live and what the bathroom is for, I'm good.
Good benchmarks, James Ron. Priorities!
This is why I always put my keys in the same place. 🤔
I find the refrigerator is a likely spot for keys, too. Thanks, Mark

Ha ha ha
LOL and so true.
Oh yes, Every time I walk into a room and forget what I came for.
I'm with you, my friend.

LOLOLOL! Good idea. Just stop fussing and raging, take a breath, and start all over again.

Excellent ideas!

Ah, Kate. One day at a time! ha ha ha
Heh, yes, if one doesn't even know what they do then that's a worry!
A friend of mine once found his keys in a slab of butter. He'd come home drunk and, for whatever reason, decided to put them in the butter...!
Ha ha ha. Give thanks. We are not quite there yet!
Another winner, Sharron. I continue to marvel at the way you can tell a complete story in just 50 words. Envious!
