I use a Kindle.
What I mean is mentally when I open it up. I remember where I was in the story like what was happening.
When you get an annual physical as a senior. It is not really a cognitive test but they give you a test.
They will give you three words. Then continue with other things and like five minutes later they will ask what were the three words.
It is a baseline test for dementia. You begin to lose scratchpad memory.
It makes me laugh because days later I cannot get the words out of my head. I went back a year later and told the doctor what the previous years'words were.
Friends always ask how do you remember all those details about things we did.
When I was in tenth grade all tenth graders had to take a geography test. Capitals of all the states, capitals of countries and many other geography related questions. A bunch of us spent days quizzing each other. It was like 300 questions. I was the only person to get a perfect score.
Doctors ask that you try new things like taking a language course. I did that and it made me crazy. I had to stop because I kept thinking about the conversation sentences of the lessons. It drove me nuts.
Songs stay in my head for days like a broken record. I have to listen to different songs to get the other songs out of my head. I play the songs in my head while swimming.
I still notice that things are not the same as they once were. I make mental mistakes that I would have never made before.
