Ginger, my guess is mid 60's. I'm awful about guessing ages, but she seems at least as old as my mom.
I still have a severe case of going for a word and not finding it and a lot of trouble focusing.

Ivy tries to grow into the house.
My parents had some artsy New Mexico commune-type friends who lived in an adobe house. One wall and part of the ceiling were
covered
with ivy. Inside, I mean. It grew from a dirt planter area along the base of the wall, and the tendrils hung down from the ceiling over the couch.

When I was hospitalized last year with the "episodes," I told the seizure specialist that I really felt that my word-finding and focusing was getting worse. She said, "Honey, that's not seizures. That's getting older. Once you hit 30, it's all downhill from there in that department."

I've heard this before, but it's still sooooo depressing.
I remember when I was in high school, and I'd get so annoyed at my mom when she couldn't find a word. We still have some differences, but this one I completely repent!
Plus, I think ADs make you stupid. I know they've made me stupider.
I remember hearing Betsy and ita talk about some of the various drugs they tried and the mind-fuzzing things they did, and i was like "Aaagh, I don't know if I could do that". Don't tell me I just get OLD and start losing things!

They make me more forgetful when I'm on them.
