One Bridge at a Time

Every day there is a new memory related problem now. Yesterday she complained that she had tried to cook an egg and could not turn the stove top burner on. She said something must be wrong with it because it just kept clicking after the flame ignited. And while trying to pay her water bill online she noticed a text block that stated her bank balance. She was shocked and called my husband wondering why the bank would allow the water company to see what she has in the bank.


Every day it seems we reach another point of decision making. Pulling the plug on her driving was perhaps the biggest step we have had to take, moving her to the farm will be the next. Then it appears we will be doing her bill paying soon and she’ll be restricted to cooking with a microwave and toaster oven. I can’t imagine, or don’t want to, anything beyond that.


We’ll build and cross those bridges as we get to each new chasm.
