it's kinda normal to forget in a big lot. But usually you know that general place.

taking an hour though to find it?. wtf.

Has he always remembered? Is there anything else he forgets now?.

I remembered my dad having good memory for his age. Though the last 1.5-2 years before he was diagnosed, he was complaining about his memory and saying his memory wasn't like it used to be, and he would often repeat things back to me. Sometimes he would ask me if this was the street we would turn into driving back from a relative's place. It was subtle and not super obvious. I passed it off as '"old age." He got diagnosed with grade 3 brain cancer back in 2020, and then passed away 11 months later. This was after he started feeling nauseous and throwing up. The cancer he had supposedly could be with him for 1.5 years before diagnosis.

I would keep an eye on him. if he is known to have a good memory and its noticably gotten worse, then I would go to a doctor and get it diagnosed. You would have to ask for a cat scan (radiation) or MRI. It doesn't always affect the memory first either, if it's something like a tumor (depends on the location).Depending on what it is. Dementia, brain tumor, etc.

I always wished I could have found the tumor earlier before it turned into grade 2. Grade 3 wild types don't respond well to treatment.. How does anyone ever know? At least I can warn others about it. If something feels or looks off about your body, look into it. Don't ignore it. Nausea, vomiting, blood in stools, dark lines in nails, skin color turning yellow, having noticably less energy, etc.
