[quote=Anonymous]Wondering if this is just typical signs of aging or if it’s more serious.

My 75yo father is very sharp, smart, remembers things you told him five minutes ago, yesterday, remembers things from decades ago. But he does what my mother calls “silly things”, and I noticed it for the first time yesterday.

Took him out to McDonalds for a coffee and Big Mac, one of his weekly routines. Only we went to a different McDonalds than he usually visits. He went to use the restroom and accidentally used the women’s. He didn’t notice it wasn’t set up like a men’s and went about his business, I guess. Thankfully it was empty but a woman was entering when he was exiting. When he got back to the table, he told me he’s just used to going to the left, so he went to the left without looking. I guess at the McD’s he typically haunts, men’s is to the left.

Also, NO filter. He’s not loud about it but it’s like, wow dad! Also, easily angered in public, like Ove from the book/movie.

My mom worries he’s sinking into a cognitive issue, but to me it seems typical. But then again I don’t have to live with him and deal with this daily. [/quote]
