Grandpa Needs to Drive Less

Whenever any KF local family member (with a driver's license) can, please take Dad/Grandpa on a run around town, to get gas, to take the trash to the barn, to get coffee at the Triangle in the morning, to school functions, to doctor's appointments, etc.
As his disease progresses his functionality and cognitive skills are deteriorating. He realizes that he should drive less. But he doesn't recognize that he shouldn't be driving at all. So the more times someone else does the driving for him the less exposure there will be. He even said he will go at this "piece meal". So if you can please take away any piece you can. Insist if he resists AND take him in his truck. He needs to get accustomed to being in the passenger seat of that vehicle!
Thanks everyone. love, Liz
