Don't stress over the visit with the relative with short-term memory loss.
Both DH and I write ourselves little post-it notes and carry them with us
when we walk from one end of the house to the other so we'll remember
where we are going and for what.

Here's my three point plan to help cope with short term memory loss.....

1. If you forget something and nobody reminds you or points out that you
forgot it's small stuff. Don't worry about it.....but then you wouldn't
anyway because you've forgotten it.

2. If you forget something and somebody reminds you it probably *is*
important but you don't have to worry about remembering because plenty of
people *will* remind you. (Large red trucks with lights and sirens pulling
into the front yard are a great memory jogger.)

3. The third point is.......ummmmm.....uhhhhhhhhh.....*blink,
blink*.............~sigh~
