Beverly:
Mom's 88 and 89 on March 5th. Took her driver's license away about
eight years ago. In addition to AD she has glaucoma and is legally
blind. Sometimes she isn't sure if it's me or my brother in the same
room until we speak.
Anyway, about a month ago I brought her back from visiting her
sister (who's 92) and when we pulled into the driveway she said "I just
don't know why I couldn't drive to see my sister or to the grocery
store". "Of course, we'd have to get another car".
I told her that if she wanted to go to the DPS office and take the
driving tests, we'd go. That ended the conversation. But she still
thinks she's capable of driving and I don't think that will ever change.

By the way, I'm 59, but she still tells me to "wear your jacket"
or "put on you long pants" on cool days. Some things just don't ever
change!
Cheers,

Bill
