Cognitive memory impairment

[Basher]

Good morning and thank you for letting me join this group.
My name is Tracey age 55
I was diagnosed with cognitive memory impairment some few months ago.
There is a possibility I may have the Alzheimer’s gene to. I just wanted to see if there where people on here my age group to talk about it, share any thoughts.
I have done some daft things with this memory, like nearly set fire to my home, lose credit cards , keys, communications. I have to daughters grown up but don’t understand which is not there fault but feel very alone in this.
Thank you for reading.
