This is important to read. Ron and I get lots of these and because we did have a car mistaken for ours that came by mail, Ron keeps panicking that these are really. I know he is struggling with memory but I am worried he will try to pay one of these. Yesterday I walked by his desk as he was calling someone, then I noticed the toll file folder. I asked him and he said he was calling the state toll people to make sure. I told him Ron please hang up. I showed him how they all come in from different email or addresses. None of them the official state toll places. Hope this helps others getting these scam texts. Hugs
Why so many people are getting scam texts saying they have unpaid tolls
A rise in text messages telling people they have unpaid toll fees is emerging as the latest iteration of a ballooning form of fraud.

I get one of these particular texts at least once per week. Just report them as spam and block the senders.

Hi Suze. We get them more frequently. I am lucky right now I got Ron to ignore them. Today when after I sent him the article he got a bit upset saying I know that. Ok I said so now we ignore them. I do Scottie I do ignore them. Ok Ron that is great. I bit my tongue and did not remind him he had the file out the day before trying to find out about our tolls.
Suze I feel now that the hidden secret is out in the open I am walking on eggshells. I have to be careful how I remind him, my tone of voice when he falls asleep in his chair or the bed without his c-pap. I have been finding a way to say you forgot this without saying you forgot this. Such as oh Ron did you see the grocery list I can’t find it. … I don’t know. But it is a new frontier. I will be going to bed early tonight I think, but I will be up after he comes to bed to check things. Hugs

Just first remember how much you love him, and how much he loves you, and how he’s saved your mind. You can’t save him from this, but you are making it nicer for him. There is a lot of stress for you both-a lot of stress-not even including the sliding of memory that may be taking place, some of which has to be the stress. You can do it. And you can get help with doing it when you need to. You just have to make yourself do it.
I’m just so sorry you have to.

Thank you Ali. We will get through it. I am not sure what the future will bring but we will face it together. I got scared yesterday when he was gone over three hours for what I thought was a dozen grocery items. I called him twice and he seemed OK. But we will make it together no matter what. But I do worry.
I fell last night while he was in bed. I laid on the floor of my office and couldn’t get my leg to respond, couldn’t get it under me. I reached out and grab a shelf to use as support and it came down on the floor, and on top of me. Ron got up because of the noise and I was on my knees by the time he got to my office. But I was trying to get to my feet, he grabbed for me and hurt himself.
So picture it, I had to direct him how to help me to my feet bracing himself with my desk. Which was what I was going to do before he came in. This is the same man I have seen lift a large male patient who fell in his home and got himself wedged between his tub and toilet. This is the man who taught me how to walk patients securely and move them. He is frustrated not only with his memory but his physical strength. He feels he is much less a man than he once was. But he is that same man to me, the man I fell in love with, the man I live with, the man I now worry about. Hugs
