You are right Daffy we can only hold so much info in our brains at any one timeMost certainly in the post menopause as haven't had a monthly in a bit over a year. I know the menopause is linked to foggy thinking. Plus i think we all get that moment when we go downstairs and forget what it was for? I sometimes start something upstairs go downstairs and get one with something else, then come upstairs to suddenly remember what i had been doing!
I read somewhere that we can only hold some much stuff in our brains and any one time. I think it was eight things. For instance, pick up the dog at kennel, collect prescription, buy plasters etc. Apparently, if you add more most people will forget one. Perhaps, slip ups are just very busy and stressful lives? I hope struggling to find the right word sometimes is not the first signs of something ominous. Occasionally, I've come out with a sounds like word. (I did in my twenties have plenty of blows to the head due to DV)
I'm keeping an eye on my problem and I hope that nothing serious evolves.
I’m so sorry to hear you suffered DV with blows to your head & I hope it has no lasting physical effects on your memory.
