I notice (from time to time) that I have trouble recalling words. I know what I'm trying to say....just cannot find the correct words. Usually I'll start a sentence then stop mid-sentence because the word I'm looking for escapes me. My son or whoever I'm talking to will usually step in with the correct word and I can finish my thought. Usually it's just a simple word, like "garage" or the name of a TV show or actor. It's very frustrating.

I've also found that I will put things away or look for things in the incorrect spot....like finding the flashlight in the fridge or looking for the juice in the dishwasher !!

I don't do this all the time but it seems like it all converges on me at once. Then, I'm OK for a period of time.

It's scary when it's happening....but at least I know I'm doing something incorrectly and I don't continue to look for the juice in the dishwasher!!
