Momentary lapses are common in one's 60s, and yes I think after caring for someone with dementia for 13 years that this is how it all starts - but sometimes these forgetful episodes (and it happens to me a lot - I walk to the fridge, open the door and have no idea what I went there for and have to work through all the shelves to see if what I want leaps out at me) occur just because we are over-tired or stressed. The key is to prevent them happening more frequently by eating brightly coloured foods that ward off strokes, keeping out hearts fit and drinking plenty of water.
