My dad had Alzheimer's disease from the time he was about 63. He died at 74. It worries me that this is in my genes, but in true wimp fashion, I try not to think about it too often.
HOWEVER, two things happened today that scare me a little and made me wonder if it is Alzheimer's or just overload (too much much on my mind). I will preface this by saying that on a few occasions, I have found myself standing in the shower with the shampoo bottle in my hand, wondering, "Did I already wash my hair, or am I about to start?" But today I was NOT going to wash my hair, just wet it and redo it to get rid of the bedhead. So I got into the shower and wet my hair. Then I squirted a few pumps of Cetaphil face wash in my hand and did I apply it to my face? NO - I PUT IT ON MY HEAD!!! Of course, I realized it right away but, SHEESH, I felt stupid.
I got "anointed" and dressed, and went into the kitchen, put the water on to make tea and washed a few things in the sink. When I went to put on some hand lotion, I couldn't find it. Mystified, I began to look for it and when it wasn't in the places that made sense, I decided to get a little funny about it. Guess where I found the bottle of hand lotion...IN THE MICROWAVE. Should I be worried??
