Ageing and memory impairment

“I don’t know what is happening with me, I am just forgetting things all the time.

“’Let me give you an example, I left home to visit this office to take a letter and I figured I have the letter on me, as a matter of fact like I remember packing the letter. Turned up at the office and there is no letter and became frantic and thinking about rushing back home to get the letter. An hour later I remembered the letter was never given to me hard copy but it was soft copy. I got it printed and took it back to the office, whew!”

This sister has been telling me for a while that she seems to be forgetting simple things. She has just started working again and the work is somewhat time consuming and she has not yet adjusted to the new environment so she has concluded this could be a contributing factor.
