I need advice. My husband's car died recently and has been donated to charity. That leaves us with one 21 yr. old Toyota Camry that has seen much, much better days. I desperately want a new car that I can rely on, especially now that I'll be driving my husband everywhere he wants to go and to doctors' appointments for both of us. I'm not a car person, and I admit that I haven't maintained it as well as I should have. Honestly, I always depended on my husband to oversee the cars but he was as neglectful as I was. Now everything is changed with his Alzheimer's diagnosis and I have to do lots more and make more decisions. Everyone I talk to tells me I need a new car (I'm thinking about a one- or two-year old Toyota Corolla or a compact Subaru) but my husband hasn't accepted the fact that two doctors have told him to quit driving and I've told him the same thing. He's adamant about not getting a new car and I'm making no progress in convincing him. How do you talk to a person with Alzheimer's who is still lucid enough to have strong opinions? I'm told not to try to explain to him that he has this condition but to just let him remain in denial, but is that really the best approach? It would be so much easier for both of us if I could stop pretending (sort of pretending) that the elephant is not in the room? This is a devastating diagnosis, but doesn't the patient deserve the truth as much as a cancer patient would?
