Readers & Writers discussion

I'm 72 and having memory problems, so I write everything down - lists on top of lists - and then I lose the lists :-) I was talking to my mom on the phone the other day (she's 95) and she put the phone down to look for something. When she came back, I could hardly hear her, and then she started laughing. She had picked up the TV remote and was talking into it :-)

It happens. Talk to your doctor. Plus, not to be nosy, do you do cross word puzzles or just puzzles? Anything to exorcise your mind. I have tried to talk to my dad about that, all he does is sleep. I keep telling him, he needs to get a hobby, anything that helps him think. He just ignors it or gets mad.

Amanda I do crossword puzzles and it really does help keeping my memory sharp. If nothing else it gives you a warning sign that your memory is getting worse.

My grandson laughs (lovingly) at me because I have as many games on my phone as he does. I play a lot of Yahtzee and words with friends and puzzles and all kinds of things on my phone. It helps my memory and my eye hand coordination too.

Haha! Just had lunch with a bunch of fellow seniors and we all admitted to opening cabinets and entering rooms wondering what the heck we were looking for!
