Re: [Serious] How do you deal with it?
I cannot help you with your question concerning Alzheimer's because none of my immediate family members have lived long enough to suffer from age-onset dementia.
But regarding your concerns about yourself: my memory, both short-term and long-term, has never been the greatest, either. But my doctor does not believe that forgetting where I put my car keys, or forgetting that my daughter broke her arm, is a predictor of old-age dementia. Actually my memory at 60 (well, 61 later this week  ) is as good or better than when I was 39. I work in a fairly responsible position and find that mental exercise helps to clear out the cobwebs.
One suggestion to get your dad in to the doctor. If he is not too suspicious of physicians, you might get him in under the pretext of getting a flu shot (if he's not had one already). A good doctor alerted ahead of time can turn the brief exam into something a little broader in scope.
