1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Did you wander over here from the Pot/Alzheimer’s thread? It is normal to have one area of memory not as precise as others. Many people can remember incredible detail, but be absent minded with regard to things like appointments – things to do etc. If there a single period of time, say one or two years with no recollection at all you might have cause for concern, but many people experience the things that you mention – that’s why they invented diaries.
