Lost Conversations

The other day I had a discussion with my wife Debbie about going to lunch the following day. Debbie had driven by a local restaurant we like and said it looked like it was not very busy. So I said maybe we should go for lunch there the following day early in th afternoon the next day. Specifically around 2:00PM. So the next day rolls around, (yesterday 3/04) and I play golf in the morning, get home around 11:00am, and do a little yard work. Debbie comes out and says she is going to Target. I say if you want to wait till I finish in the yard, we can go to lunch and Target after. She then says, “so you still want to go to lunch then” I look puzzled, as she recounts the conversation from that day before. I had completely forgotten the conversation from the day before, but after she reminded me I did start to recall a little of it. But the bigger point is, at the point I asked if she wanted to wait till I was done in the yard, I had no memory of the previous days conversation. These are the things that cause me to ponder if it is an indication of a clinical condition or natural occurrence.
