My sister sent me into the grocery store by myself. Keep in mind, I am not supposed to be left alone at any time, even at home.
I navigated the store (I have the layout memorized), got my stuff, did self check-out… and then forgot where I was, what I was doing… people were looking at me funny, so I must have been doing something or making some noise… i grabbed my groceries and walked out as quickly as I could (I’d already paid before this episode) and I was in such a panic, I left a whole bag of groceries there. I am beating myself up about it now, especially because that bag had my Sleeptime Extra tea and I really need it right now!!!
When I got out to rhe car, i told my sister that I can’t do that anymore, that SHE can’t do that anymore, I am in cognitive decline and it’s expected to get worse, I can’t be sent out in public alone anymore, and she was just like, “You’ve got to believe in yourself!”
