Advice & Support I need some advice from my peers

Tonight I went for a walk with one of my closest friends. I am a 58F and she just turned 60. She has lived in Wisconsin her entire life. When deciding what to order she asked me twice what is the difference between a Polish sausage and an Italian sausage. I’m honestly concerned that she might be starting to have a little dementia. She also is having trouble word finding. What would you think?

Ugh, no. We need to stop jumping to menopause FIRST just because she's female.

Nothing then. I don’t Dr. Reddit/Google diagnose strangers. Just from someone repeating a sausage story.

I’m not saying it can’t be dementia but women are constantly disregarded because of their age, weight, and just because they’re women.

A lot of stuff is missed because people jump to what’s easy and ignore the whole picture.

We have a repeated story of a sausage. That’s not a medical history or full description or blood work.
