I haven't hit this stage myself, but my mom is full on, and the biggest thing I've seen with her is that her memory has a short; hormones regularly cause women to lose their minds (I fight some nasty PMS paranoia, myself--yay!), so a change this big is bound to increase that effect; my poor husband can't wait, I'm sure.
One of the women in my women's circle, many of whom had already been "croned," told this joke:
A fiftysomething woman is shopping in the grocery store, and she runs into an acquaintance, another fiftysomething woman, so she says "Hello," but realizes suddenly that she's forgotten the other woman's name. They chit-chat a moment, and finally she 'fesses up and says, "I am so totally embarrassed, but I've forgotten your name..." The other woman looks at her for a long time, and finally says, "How soon do you need to know?"
