Wishfull thinking
I've come to realize that I'm much less 'conversational' than I used to be. Jane will poke me and whisper, "say something." I'm following the flow of words OK but I just can't think of anything to say.
I've noticed how hard it is to remember names and facts and I've wondered if I'm trying to avoid the embarrassment of missing a beat in my conversation. I know I've had to stop and struggle with those kinds of things on many occasions; and they are getting more frequent.
I keep hoping that, maybe, the doctor's have made a mistake and I'm not going to fade into dementia. I know better but who can blame me?
