Title: Making sense - not
Post by: CLKD on October 12, 2015, 02:26:25 PM
Talking to DH recently it would appear that I don't make a lot of sense sometimes  :-\.  My brain knows what I mean but I don't get the words out so there's a lot of 'eh?', ignoring me, 'what did you say?' …… I am having problems finding words so have to pause; I do try to fill in the gaps which is OK between each other.  I take his arm and say 'I need to pause' until I find the correct word.  I can feel the cogs working   :o ……… I note on here that I miss out words when typing ….. don't notice at the time but re-reading responses  ::) ………

So am apologising  ;)

Not just you CLKD. What I type often isn't what's in my head. I have to double check my posts.  ::)

 ::) ……….. it makes sense in my head though  :-\ … then gets lost between there and my gob ……

I also forget shopping lists, I stand in stores wondering why I've ventured in.  I go upstairs and can't remember.  I never forget to run my bath though ;-).

If I write something down its committed to memory. Ive always been the same.
It's how I studied for exams many moons ago.
I sit and write out a shopping list and I don't need to take it with me.


From my brain to my mouth is a different story. It doesn't help when hubby gets impatient....as he has been told on many occasions......my mouth works then  :P

I've always been the same. Commit it to paper and I remember.....however....I can turn off the heating or lock a door and five minutes later I can't remember and I'm back checking.
Maybe I need to write it down  ;D

The brain to mouth link is not great either. Usually worse when I'm tired.

I tend to speed read everything anyway, so would never notice an odd word missed out.  DH is far worse than me at forgetting words, and most things at the moment :( and I am not the greatest.  eg.  I need 3 things from the health shop in a mo, they are all written on the back of my hand.

Earlier this evening I sat looking at the keyboard - the password had completely gone from my head for a whole 25 mins.  :'(.  I've really lost it …….. usually I can type it in automatically.

I'm the same. Used to be able to write with accuracy and clarity. Now I sometimes read my posts/texts/letters/emails  and cringe! (Everest, CKLD?!!  ::)). I do write things down to remember them, like HB. No logic, but it seems to work! Am only 43, so goodness knows what I will be like in a decade!
