Driving is a Hazard to your Health

Driving is a hazard to your health particularly if you have Alzheimer's as my husband has.  He has voluntarily stopped driving. Not gradually but a quick and deliberate decision that the time has come. Hooray for Walt!

A person with Alzheimer's gets confused easily.  They have to focus on one thing at a time or the thought process is compromised.  They end up frustrated and angry. 

Walt is on anti depression medication which is a godsend because it helps to keep the anxiety under control.  He can thereby think a bit more clearly.  He also takes meds believed to slow the progression the the disease

The problem with his not driving is that means that neither one of us can get us from pillar to post!  So, we had to make some serious adjustments to our lives.
Our church has a bus, so we can go to church .  My daughter will come over on Mondays, so we can run errands.  When we need to mail a package, the Post Office will arrange a next day pick up.  I do a great deal of Internet shopping, so Brown does a substantial business delivering to our house.  So much so we are on first name basis.

Walt says he will be able to relinquish the car in a couple of weeks.  Our beloved Camry will be going to a grandchild for further enjoyment!

Wish us luck as we continue this life's journey.  Lord knows, we will probably need all the luck we can get!
