Memory does not improve with age. I used to blame memory issues on "Chemo Brain". Trust me, it is a real thing. Now the combination of the two is not positive.

I appreciate Google and lists to help. But you learn to accept that some things are recalled days later or not at all.

Fortunately, that little memory test you take in your Medicare visit with your doctor is only 3 words.
