<human>: I know I'm probably overreacting but earlier today I sent my mom (58f) a message on FB about the explosions in Boston - I was at work and was wondering if she was watching the news. She never responded and I called her when I got home. We were talking about what happened for about 10-20 minutes and then my phone died. I messaged my sister (25f) to tell Mom my phone died and I'd talk to her later.. but then about 20 minutes ago, I got a message from my mom on facebook. She said there was a bombing at the marathon, I immediately thought "Oh god, there's been more!" So I asked her what happened and she said two bombs went off - I was shocked and asked if they actually went off or if they were just found. It then hit me that she was just repeating today's events, so I told her we just spoke on the phone (maybe she thought she was talking to one of my other sisters?) And she said, "no not talking to me". I replied with a, "huh?" and she said "I spoke with you yesterday."

So I immediately called her up and she answered with the usual, "Hi, how are you? How was your day?" I told her it was good and asked her what she was up to.. She answered with the usual.. and I threw out there, "Soo... What happened today was crazy, huh?" and she said something like "Yeah, can you believe that?" and I said "Yeah, we were just talking about it." She goes, "What? We were? When?" and I said "On facebook just now." and she was like "Oh, yeah. That's what I told you."

I'm now terrified that my mom is not well.. She's repeated stories about my nieces and nephews to me but I always thought she just told so many people those stories that she forgot who she told.. but now I'm worried. How do I tell her? Do I tell her? Even if it turns out to be nothing major, she should still know and go for testing just in case, shouldn't she? My mom is 58 and I'm just scared this could be the beginning of losing her..

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: my mom forgot a conversation we had within a hour of having it, I covered for it and need to know how/if I should tell her.
