Is it rude to say “my memory is not even good,haha.” as a reply to an older person?

One day, I checked my work email and got an email from a sales representative who works with our company and I met her before (we have a relationship only as professional) She said sorry for such a late reply to my email I sent weeks ago and said that she is getting old and her memory is failing her.
So, I wanted to say something nicer and don’t worry about the late reply, but from the lack of my English and as a joke, I ended up saying “ no problem at all, thank you for the follow-up. My memory is not even good, haha.” And then, I didn’t get a reply back from her. It’s been 2days and I’m starting to feel anxious if I made her feel bad by saying that. Please let me know your thoughts and how else I could’ve responded to her and I’d like to understand if it was inappropriate to say.
