This morning the young woman who is taking care of our neighbor’s dog Maddie (they are on vacation) parked her car outside of their garage, which makes turning our car around and heading up the mutual driveway very difficult. I ran the doorbell several times with no answer. Finally, at about 9:30, she was on the sidewalk, taking the dog for a walk. I let her know it was best for her to put her Subaru in the neighbor’s garage so we could safely get up the icy, hilly driveway. She was very nice.
At 10:30 I had my monthly Mayo Zoom meeting. I learned that if you are diagnosed with dementia/Alzheimer’s and have a car accident, you can be sued. There is a detailed process with the DMV to determine if you can keep driving. They check vision, hearing and all kinds of other elements, including an actual driving test following a city map.
