memory slipping away

My mother was completely fine then she
went to a party and upon her return she
can't seem to remember much of anything.
Like its slowly slipping away from her.
She can't remember all of the stuff she
did a few hours before she left, or where
she brought my Cuz to. I'm worried about
her. She is obsessing over her phone
which she seemed to have lost and I dunno
what to do. Help!

Has the crisis abated or is she still
having memory issues?
Without further details, it sounds like a
drug/medication issue.

she went to sleep and when she awoke she
seems to remember most things. although a
few things still escape her. She found her
phone, but still seems a little off. Its
new years day so she dosen't wanna go to
the doctor, but she has work tomorrow and
I don't want this happening again on the
train or on the street or something. She
said she didn't drink at the party, and
she dosen't take any mental medications.

did she drink at the party? Cuz i've been
to the place where i got so drunk that i
can't remember some things, i can remember
what happened before, but not anything of
what happened when i was totally drunk. I
have been told things that i have done,
and was like "what"?!?!??!

No she said she didn't drink so I don't
think thats it; and i've never seen her
get drunk so I doubt it.

What about a head injury? Temporary
amnesia?

I asked her, my aunt, and my other aunt
who where with her at the party if
anything happened and they said no. I
assumed that she didn't take any head
injuries because of this. She's not going
to the doctors till Saturday so this is a
problem.

Did she have any other symptoms? Maybe a
TIA? She needs to go to the doc as soon as
possible. That can be a sign of something
else bad and she really needs to get
checked out.

It is the beginning signs and symptoms of
a stroke ... actually like a mild,
mini-stroke itself. I agree with Georgia
... seing a doctor will be best.

Maybe someone slipped a drug or something
into her soda or water, or whatever she
was drinking. Anything is possible. Who
knows, i hope everything goes well for her
on saturday though. how is she feeling
today ?

I was thinking that except it was a
professional party host by the wife of our
doctor, ironic I know. She seems just
fine.....but this kinda thing isn't a one
time occurrence.

She still hasen't gone, said she couldn't
get an appointment for saturday. Supposed
to be going on Thursday. I'm still
worried, but all the symptoms seems to
have vanished.

sometimes its like that--sometimes its
there and sometimes its not. it was all
strange like that with my grandfather.
sometimes he knew who i was and sometimes
not and it was that way with a lot of
things.
