Does anyone start to talk about something and at times can't think of the word, that use to come out no problem, to describe a situation or just plain 'ol tell a story and now someone will fill in that 'blank' for me.

Yes I play word puzzles to keep myself sharp. I often forget a lot and I’m unable to stay focused. It’s getting worse. Especially at work. Then my family member showed me by saying you know you always forget. I felt horrible after hearing that.

Thank you for sharing
