I am dealing with a daily issue of driving. My husband has always loved cars. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s with a lot of characteristics of Lewy bodies. He wants to drive every time we get in the car. He thinks he can just go buy another car so he can drive. Back in March I signed him up for the driving evaluation and he failed big time. The neurologist told him he could not drive. He argued with him that he was a much safer driver that anyone out on the road.
He got so mad at me that I would not let him drive after we got Starbucks that he said he would just walk home. I could not get him in the car. He started walking against traffic on a very busy road. He fell, lost a shoe cut and bruises. I had to call 911 to come and stop him.
This is a daily issue and driving is one thing he does not forget,
I wish there was an explanation that would satisfy him but nothing seems to matter.
