AARP Defines Normal Memory Lapses




Every time I can’t find my cell phone or keys or great book I was reading, I start to get wrapped around my own axle.  What does that mean?  It means that I get overly worried about my cognition, my ability to think like a normal human being, my fear that my brain tumor will lead to dementia or Alzheimer's.

I find myself wondering “Is it normal to leave the newspaper by the back door after I just went outside to get it?”  

Luckily AARP has an informative article on their website entitled “6 Types of Normal Memory Lapses” to help us all better understand if we should just relax or have good solid reasons for full scale panicking.

Interested? Here’s a link:http://www.aarp.org/health/brain-health/info-08-2012/memory-lapses-that-are-normal.html?intcmp=AE-HEA-ENDART1-REL
