Good luck with the car sitch, tg. That sounds challenging. My mom got in a few minor fender benders then shied away from driving. Then after her fall, she abandoned it all together and we gave her car away because paying insurance was a waste.
RE: phones. In another money saving move, we got rid of her landline and shifted her to a cell phone. She was confused about that but it reduced her bills from over $50 a month to less than $10. She rejects change so she denied the phone and insisted I take it so it sat on my desk for a few months. Recently she requested it to make a phone call to her sister in law who has kindly sent her cards regularly. I gave it to her this week - it’s a simple flip phone that you just dial and it works. I had her try to call me while I visited and it took her about a dozen tries before she succeeded (most errors were misdials). We’ll see how she does next week.
