Another day, a little sadder...

My wife has been driving herself to the doctor/rehab since she broke her shoulder months ago. But today the doctor felt she had to have her office call here to let us know that my wife was very confused and it worried her and the staff. This is the first time outside the family anyone has mentioned being aware of my wife's confusion. It seems like it's progressing even more quickly than I feared, but it's hard to say.

And she’s allowed to drive herself to the doctor?
My brother made this mistake many years ago with our father, who at the time was exhibiting early signs of dementia. He sent dad to pick up some pizza from a location that was straight down the street about three blocks. When he didn’t return in a few minutes, my brother and his mechanic began to worry and set out to find him. An hour later they got a phone call from a store, as dad never carried a cell, wondering if someone could help. They went and rescued him, this was his last solo venture.

@Quimliqer She's always been so independent it's hard to say "no", but I think we're getting to the point where we may have to talk to her about it.

@ChipmunkErnie I’m very aware of the stubbornness as you describe. It’s best to find an alternative!!
