Day 2 has been mostly uneventful. My morning was misspent helping my aunt with her relatively "new" laptop. She simply does not retain memory of the simple steps of "doing" anything. I went over and showed her how to access her e-mail. When I got her to the page where she could see she had 22 messages, she was confused over the fact that all these people had sent her one-line messages that didn't make sense to her (she was reading the subject lines). I told her she had to open them and she didn't comprehend. I showed her. Once she grasped that, I sat and watched her open and delete several more. I showed her how to access her Facebook, too, and I offered to scan a portrait of her for her avatar.
I spent two hours helping her...time during which she dutifully "wrote down" the steps to do everything we discussed. Half an hour later, I called to tell her I had e-mailed her photo to her. She asked how she could access it. I told her to open her e-mail. She didn't remember how. I told her to refer to the notes she took. She'd already misplaced them
SIGH!
She's two years younger than my mom, bless her heart. My mom is 82 and sharp as a tack.
