Good for you Lemonaide!
I'm sorry this has happened with your old T and that he has been so defensive and closed about his memory problems. It must be hard for him realising he is unable to work in the way he had been - it could mean the end of his career.
But this isn't your fault, and although you are fond of him, you are right to put your own care first. I think you have been courageous and brave to look the problem in the face and now move on. I'm glad you got what you did from seeing him. It's interesting you are now likely going to see a female T. How do you feel about this? It could be a very powerful and healing relationship - I really hope she turns out to be what you expect and hope for. I was adamant about having a male T because of my trust issues with woman. Even with a male I have great problems with trusting - perhaps one day I'll benefit from seeing a female.
Good luck with this all and with your next meeting with your current T - I hope that goes well.
