Question
I was angry with a close friend last night I do not remember using the word hell in the conversation.I am in good health and 77 years old.

Answer
Hi Robert,
I am assuming you are concerned about your memory. My suggestion is that you talk to your doctor and tell him/her that you would like to see a neuropsychologist for memory testing. If he says he doesn't think anything is wrong with you tell him you want to get a baseline. Medicare should cover the cost.
This will tell you if you should be worried or not.
Good luck and I hope you just had a slip!
Paula
