She would come in on a weekly basis, sometimes several times a week or even several times a day. She had her favorite tellers and FSRs, who would try to avoid her, if possible, as she would ask them to go over the same information, forgetting that they already gave her that information earlier on. Explaining things to her could be a task, and sometimes she would make embarrassing comments to the tellers she liked. She had even backed into a couple of people's cars (she obviously should not have still been driving, but she was). Reflecting back, I wish I had known then what I know now. I wish someone had me, and my coworkers, aware of her condition. Maybe we all would have been more patient and understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649118720488149471.post-75401045533116507732012-08-21T11:36:04.710-07:002012-08-21T11:36:04.710-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649118720488149471.post-18089951233501229242012-08-15T16:41:01.945-07:002012-08-15T16:41:01.945-07:00I want one for my kids too! :) You seem like you a...I want one for my kids too! :) You seem like you are doing such a good job trying to help your mom.
