We would be taking her. The weakness in her legs keeps her from having the control she needs to drive now.
The last time she drove was right before her knee gave way, causing her to fall and break her left leg right above the knee. Earlier in the year she had fallen at the dollar store and broke her right leg in the upper femur. Last year sucked for her...big time!
I was afraid she might try to insist on driving herself since she wants to be as independent as possible. Independence is hard to give up. We went through a lot with Hubby’s aunt when she was around that age.
At least your MIL sounds more reasonable than Aunt Clara. Be grateful for that.
Hope her healing continues and she can resume some of her activities, even if she now needs a driver.
