Hubby shocked me with something out of left field, this morning. He said that maybe we should sell my car and I should give up my driver's license. I'm not even 50 yet. The reasoning is because I've talked to him about how my driving is not really always safe.
My sister emailed me yesterday that my father's first cousin Jeanette just died. The day before, she had sent me an email mentioning one of her old boyfriend's sisters that I used to be friends with. In that same email, she also wrote that "Darlene has cancer and it's spreading". I never responded to that email because I was incredibly upset about Darlene, whom I really like. Yesterday, I asked if she had told our father about Darlene, as well as his cousin Jeanette that just died. That confused her. What happened was that she was referring to one of the sisters of her old boyfriend named "Darlene". I mistook her statement as referring to the Darlene that is my father's first cousin, on his other side of the family. So I had the wrong Darlene in mind. I was thinking "OMG! Two of his first cousins may be lost?!?!" And they were both very close cousins to him. I particularly like Darlene. Yesterday, I was even thinking of emailing my father's cousin Darlene to send get well wishes. That surely would have shocked her, since she is NOT the Darlene dying of cancer. My father lost one of his brothers only last summer.

Sorry about the mix up with family members, Many would easily confuse them..
If you were to sell your car how would you get to medical appts, Pdoc and T or doing any shopping, I know you go many places to fine correct things for meals... What if something happened to your Dad , Sister, Brother or husband.. Could you call a Taxi or Uber/Lyft service?
I dont think I could give up my license unless I truly felt unsafe to drive.. Your world will get much smaller if you have to wait until your husband had time to take you places.... Why do you feel your ability to drive has gone down? Has it been happening over time or just like now when you are not doing well with Bipolar?
