[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sucks, OP. I hear you. I once spent over an hour trying to explain to my father the difference between a home page and a browser and it was one of the most frustrating conversations of my life ("What browser do you use?" "The New York Times" Aaarrrgghh).

I would advise her not to use a medical portal. She should just call doctor's offices as needed. I almost never use my kid's because I find it irritating, so I just call. Certainly an older person has that option.

Use similar work arounds for other things. Just keep her off it for anything you can't fix in, say, 10 minutes.

I assume you're not local? Is there any local family? I could see this as a GREAT assignment for a teen or 20 something local family member or family friend who could get $25 an hour from you to go over there and help her as needed. Someone else she trusts. [/quote]
Thanks so much for the commiseration! To answer your question, no, and there is no one else she would allow. [/quote]
