I have posted on Ageing Well.
I am also having problems spelling, and remembering appointments, and getting housework done. I’ve also had problems with paying bills.
I paid a bill for $800 twice 4 months ago, still not sure if I’ve been reimbursed, another bill I didn’t pay and got a shut off letter.
Didn’t pay the lot rent and got a letter for that, paid a $3000 bill twice for vet care, luckily l was able to tell them to cancel one payment before it got on the books. Last month I had a $900 bill and paid $1,500. I had asked my husband to help me, so he made sure I paid each bill but didn’t check how much I paid ! Sometimes I’m upset about it, other times I have to laugh.

Oh boy, I have mild stage Alzheimer’s Dementia. I’m single so I have to be careful.

I never have to write checks myself to pay my bills. I let the bank, and the billers deal directly with each other through a “Bill Pay” system. All I have to do is make sure there is enough money in my account. My income checks are directly deposited into my checking account.

Please check with your bank or credit union about their Bill Pay system. It is a great help.
