Mom saying same stories over and over, Alzheimer's disease?



My mom just retired in August. But in the last month or two we notice she tells us stories that she has already told us. She also is like a little bee and can't concentrate on just one thing (she has to play dice and watch the news, or go through papers). She didn't do this as much before. A couple of weekends ago, there were 6 of us playing dice. She told us this dog story. The next night we played dice with the same 6 people. She told us the same dog story again. (She didn't really meet people in between the two days). Is this an early warning sign or is she just adjusting to her new slower life?

your mom should have a way she does her things. she just retired as you have said, she doesn't have to concentrate on just one thing. i think she is trying to make herself happy probably she still prefer working. you should take your time to examine what you can do to make her happy as well and be mindful of your speech to her on order to really know her mind.

Could be... talk to her about it and ask her to see a doctor.

I think your mom is just adjusting herself to the new life she has now. It is a big jump to go into retirement. I wouldn't worry about alzheimer's just yet.
This could be the first signs of Alzheimers or just old age. It can't hurt to have her tested if insurance covers it
Yes it could be OR it could be due to arteriosclerosis & atherosclerosis of small vessels of brain that lead to decrease blood supply & loss of memory which may be recent memory or long memory .this lead to confusion & loss of ability to concentrate . Get an Nurological checkup & if needed carotid scan & cerebral angiogram if advised.
