Getting older is scary. It's not just the aches and pains but the fear of forgetting...just as you described it. Two of my cousins had died from dementia. One of them was only 63. So many times I reach for a pain medication to ease the aches and pains of my arthritis only to wonder if I had just taken it. I think I did but can't remember. It's a scary world we are navigating. Many blessings to you.
