How the heck do you slow down a stubborn mid 70's parent before they crash their car or fall down the stairs
Stubborn would be an understatement, impossible would be a better word.
She gets dizzy/loses her balance regularly, tried to get this diagnosed without luck...
I believe she "self medicates" ie, takes meds when she thinks she needs to, (one of these or two of these etc.)
Yeah I know, as I wrote that I realize that needs to be controlled first... but how, raid the house and steal her drugs ?
How can you control what she takes, she's too active as well, volunteering for the church etc.
Outsiders don't realize how bad off she is so they let her do things she shouldn't be doing.
Once again, I'm afraid she will take a bad fall or crash her car, she lives in an ultra small town and hardly drives.
If we could slow her down it would help alot.
