I’m so sorry to hear that, dear stand watie.
about half of my Aunt's "notes to self" are in an OLD-fashioned "medical shorthand" that was ONLY taught to RN students in the 1920-1940s!!! (looks like "chicken scratching" and/or ""Chinese algebra" to me.)
i FINALLY found an RN (of a "certain age" = chuckle) who KNOWS how to read it;she is "plowing through" years of notes, some of which she said, "i don't understand at all."!!!
i cannot even tell IF/when she last paid her taxes. my aunt at nearly 86YO was "getting forgetful" & lots of things got "put off" and/or "just ignored as too much trouble", according to Mother (her 92YY sister).
it's NOT a fun month.
