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.

One time my dad took my mom to the doctor. After checking in she asked if she could use the bathroom. The receptionist said sure. She took her in the back and the bathroom was the first door on the left. My dad waited in the waiting room. He was reading a magazine and time was going by. He asked the receptionist to check on my mom. The bathroom was empty. That prompted a search for her. They found her wandering around in the next building over looking for the waiting room. ☹️ Fortunately she was fine, but the confusion couldn't be ignored.
