She has a system to take her meds, and I get it. She doesn't want to lose autonomy or control.

Thank you Katie, I'm gonna cry.

And if she fails the next screening, it means she may not be considered competent legally. She doesn't have dimentia, and I feel I have done something without her consent.

She is entirely lucid. She can make her coffee, she knows what she wants, she has her long term memory intact. But she can't remember the year and only knows it ends in 04. She can't recite details if you tell her a story. She can't draw an analog clock with hands pointing at a time.

I feel like a bad person. I asked her doctor to do a screening for mental cognition because of legal shit. She failed all the memory tests, and they're referring to a neuropath for a comprehensive screening. I'm so conflicted. She didn't ask for this. I did, and it's forcing her to confront it.

Thank you. My friend says it's unlikely but it's sad to hear my dad died angry at us.

Aaagh and won't let me do pill boxes.

She fucking hoards pills. And it's chaos--she won't get rid of old pill bottles, and puts new ones in old bottles. She's confusing things and will NOT let me do anything.

Well not great to only read half. But to answer you, we as USian readers expect intimate, personal memories and details because she is his daughter. Nobody else has access to that. We expect her to share personal stories. It's not ego or self promotion.

I have been laughing at this for the last 10 minutes.
