Memory loss

Marklr said:
I have memory lapses. Yesterday, for some reason, I thought it was February 28th and today would be the 1st of March. Just for a few seconds, and then it comes back to me.

I don't know why..

Weddings are my weakness, saw one of my mates wedding picture the other day as it was their anniversary.
Asked wife if we were at the wedding and fuck me I was the best man, we then had a "was I at this wedding" and I seem to have mental blockage on quite a few.
Other than weddings I have decent memories of most things so I think I'm okay and I hope you will be the same.

Likewise, I cant remember a single one and only remember mine because my then Mother in Law, a great woman, kept plying me with large gins just before the speech .
In general I can remember loads of details from way back but ask me what I had for tea yesterday and I'm snookered.
The present wife made sure we got married on my birthday because she knew I'd forget it otherwise.

An old mate was organising a work reunion in 2015 for a place that had closed down 30 years earlier. He phoned me and asked uf I remembered any of the old names.

I surprised him, and myself, by reeling off about 40 names from people I had worked with in the mid 70s to 1980, when I left.

35 years on and I could tell you who they were, and what they did. I can't even remember what I did yesterday.

My dad has Alzheimer’s and funds it difficult/ important to discuss / remember anything that has happened in the last 30 years. With one, beautiful exception:
93:20
It’s the only shared City thing I can talk to him about now, although he’s fine chatting about Franny, Colin, Bert.
In researching his condition, I read somewhere that our memories/ thoughts are like a huge pile of leaves. Alzheimer’s blows the leaves all over the place and what were left with are the things at the bottom (childhood) - the things that have been settled for decades.
I can remember with absolute clarity walking up the Platt Lane steps in 1974 with my dad and grandad to watch my first ever City match. I can close my eyes and see / hear / smell it all now. So green was the pitch, so loud the crowd, so so beautiful.
My dad’s Cortina 1600E car registration: PTP 814 J.
But I would need to go and look at my current car to be 100% sure I’d get the reg right.
 
At work we have to "sign in" using old fashioned pen and paper.
If a few of you arrive at the same time then one person usually signs you all in.
I find this extremely embarrassing as I try to remember what somebody (I see 5 days a week and in many cases going back for years) is called whilst they watch me write it in.
Illegible scribble and quickly walk off usually gets me through the situation.
 
Over the last years I have started to forget what I'm saying halfway through a sentence. It's really pissing me off, I stop mid sentence and haven't a clue the name of the object I'm talking about.
For example they might be a problem with the kettle, I say to the missus " think we might need a new" ............. I can't remember what a kettle is called lol.

Happens at work, happens all the time and I can feel myself getting annoyed. I try to play it of as abit of humour like " you know you put water in it to make a brew" " A Kettle " " Yea that's it a kettle"

My memory seems ok with other things like dates, things to do etc it just speaking that's the problem.

Was in Newcastle and described the Seahorse on the Geordie crest and municipal buildings as a Horsefish.

I just couldn't find the word so blurted it out :)

This happened to my partner literally overnight. Turns out she'd had a mini bleed on her brain. Might be worth checking out mate as it's sortable with a bit of speech therapy.
 
If I tell my wife I'm going to watch a football match in 2 hours, she will completely forget this and then ask me to do something.
However, if I was to say to her that I will transfer £200 into her account on the 27th August 2031 at 2pm, at 2.05pm on said day she will remind me I haven't yet sent the money.
