Re: More on driving reply from Sandie

This just baffles me...my dad just 'quit' driving. Then he took the bus, and

just 'quit' riding that as well. It is all so strange to me. Also my dad was a

long time smoker - one day he 'quit'. All of these situations just stopped. No

arguing, no further conversation - just stopped. I feel fortunate these things

happened the way they did, no hassles or struggles, yet also, it is all so mind

boggling. hmmmmm

My mother quit smoking after years of trying and not succeeding. Just like

that. She states to everyone " I gave up driving. It was my choice and I

could have still drove, but I decided not to. " It is so important that it

was her that made the choice.

Kathy-

It is odd how our LO's just 'quit' certain tasks they were so used to. I guess

what I am saying is my dad never talked about these things again. Almost as if

they were a figment of 'my' imagination. Nothing was ever mentioned again about

driving, smoking, or even his apartment when he was moved to a nursing home.

Still baffles me.

That is great when they can make those decisions. It is a very difficult

decision for a caregiver when they resist.
