memory loss

Here is an example of the type of memory loss that Marie was experiencing in Houston, last August. On the Sunday after Maries surgery, we went out to have a nice dinner. The hotel provided shuttle service so we went about a mile or so away. She did okay, but she didn't talk much. Marie would just stare into space and only respond to my comments. She didn't initiate any conversation. The restaurant was an upscale Tex/Mex eatery. She ate well and we went back to our hotel.

One hour later Marie asked me why she hadn't gotten any food that day. I explained that we had just returned from a restaurant where she had a good meal. She wouldn't believe me and accused me of not giving her any food. I asked her if she was hungry? Her answer was "I don't know".  I gave her a light snack, which she picked at.
