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.

My mother realized how much things had changed when she was on errands and couldn’t find her way back home. Luckily, she had her cell phone. Pop and the siblings weren’t home, so she called me.

She had pulled into a parking spot across from a Safeway’s, so I sent her an Uber with detailed instructions and they got her home safely. She later said that was her scariest experience of the illness. Pop and my brother retrieved the car. Mom never drove again. 🥺
