My dad, with Parkinson's, had a hard time believing he really could no
longer drive. I found this out when I stayed with him while my mom was
having knee surgery; somehow he found some car keys and was halfway
down the driveway when I ran out and he stopped. I told him Mom had
said clearly that no matter what else, Dad is not to drive. He looked
downcast and shut off the car to let me put it back in the garage.
Very sad moment for both of us. Keys stayed in my pocket and under my
pillow through the rest of my stay.
