Bette and I happened to be at the folk's place last night at the same time. Among others, one of the topics of discussion between us was mom has been calling Bette to complain to her that dad comes into mom's room and complains to her that the information Bette emails to dad regarding dr. appointments is months old. "Those appointments have alread happened", he complains.
Problem discovered. Dad never erases anything from his email inbox. Plus, they are sorted alphabetically. So when he does scan his inbox, which is rare, he comes upon an email from Bette, prints it out for reference, sees that the appointments are months old and concludes Bette doesn't know what she is doing.
We pointed this fact out to him and showed him how to sort his inbox to have the most recent emails on top. We talked about how the unread emails are in bold letters. Further, we reviewed the unread email from the day before which told what the appointments were for the following day. Bette also told him there were no appointments scheduled in the near future...nothing to worry about or write on his calendar.
I received this text just now from Bette: "Dad called at 7am wondering about doctor appointments".
Deep sigh!
