It does seem strange.

I hope that you are going to be alright.

Everyone is entitled to a brain fart every now and then, especially if they have existing cognitive problems. As long as these types of things don't keep happening more often or get worse, I would try to let this episode go...

I think it's the type of slip you have and the frequency you have them that is significant, and would trigger an alarm that you may be in decline.

I don't want you to worry too much unless it's necessary :hug::hug::hug:

I use the top lock at night and the bottom lock when I leave the house. It is like I lost part of my memory because I am still not used to using the bottom lock when I leave. I looked it up on the internet but couldn't find anything.

I wonder if I had a mini stroke

If you think that happened, as far as I know, they can tell with an MRI.

that is interesting. I hate going through procedures and if it happened they could only doing in the first few hours. Nothing would gained except my curiosity and possible fear. It still doesn't feel familiar using the bottom lock which I always did.

So sorry things look different. I have to say I locked my self our of my house again today, with my car keys inside. Luckily I can go next door when I
do this.

it is really good to have backup

The MRI would show infarcts -- they can show up on an MRI -- do not have to be immediate -- mine were a few days.

My old pdoc said that lots people have infarcs without noticing but they show up on the MRIs.

Mari is right...

You can also make an appointment with your neurologist, who may be able to pick something up on an exam, by asking you questions, or maybe by just talking to you.

If you feel like something is different, Bobby, I think it's a good idea to make an appointment :hug::hug::hug:
