My 86yo mom just had a major health issue landing in hospital & rehab. Now is home. Primary doc told her "no stairs, no driving--non negotiable". I have the keys, not in the house. She is insisting on me returning the keys before I go on a weekend of respite! Care Manager tells me absolutely not, which I tend to go with. Has anyone any success in HOW to say no????
It really does feel bad, but seeing them in an accident, or injuring someone else would feel worse.
Well, I am the opposite, once I get home from work I stay home... you couldn't get me out of my house unless it was on fire.... I am a homebody, except for volunteer work on Saturday. So when my Dad stopped driving they expected me to pick up where Dad left off with going to 2 or 3 different grocery stores, etc..... NOT.... well Dad couldn't understand because he thought all women loved to shop :P
