Memory issues, here. I didn’t think I would have bad memory issues until just a while ago, I had a thought on the tip of my nose, but forgot it in seconds and how it took me minutes to recall it. That’s a key sign right there.

Some people have better memory in old age, like it’s unreal sometimes with what some of them can remember. While the average person forgets thoughts in moments.

Getting up to pee 2x a night

I hate that too but I’m just glad I still have enough bladder control to actually wake up for it. I dread possibly losing that someday.

Might be a good idea to err on the side of caution and get a prostate exam. Especially if it increases in frequency.

Thanks. I don’t have a prostate but incontinence is more common in women. At the first sign of a leakage problem, you bet I’m heading to the doctor right away.

About the peeing at night, a doctor I saw in TV said that if during the day you don’t go immediately to pee when you feel the need but when you REALLY need to, then it’s easier to stay sleeping at night. He explained how there are 2 mechanisms to control pee: the bladder (I think that’s the word in English?) and the brain. And that quite often we train the brain to go to pee before it’s phisically needed.
