Memory Loss

Recently, Jerry and I are noticing that Jerry is having trouble with his "short term" memory. It's very frustrating for both of us, because Jerry has a hard time remembering simple things. For example: Last weekend we received a telephone call and Jerry asked me who was on the telephone and I told him. Then the phone range again, and the call was a friend of Jerry's from Kansas calling. Jerry talked with him awhile. After Jerry hung the phone up a short time later, Jerry asked me who was on the phone. Once I reminded him than he remembered. Now I know as we age we do begin to notice our memories failing as we get older. But, recently Jerry and I have noticed his difficulty with his "short term" memory. We are contributing it partly to the various medications that he is taking on top of ... getting older.
