This was a rather interesting day...Mom was determined to learn to play solitaire on the computer. Keep in mind, she had never even sat at a computer other than to view slide show that was on 24 hours a day at her request. The slide show contains pictures of family and friends and she loved sitting at the table watching it.
We worked and worked at teaching her how to use the mouse, how to point, click and move the cards, etc. She was so excited about learning and was concentrating so hard that she had a death grip on that mouse. I would have to keep reminding her to relax and not let it cause her stress because that was the point of her playing to relax and release stress. We practiced several times but she decided that she would just play at the table using real cards. The main thing that would give her fits was the curving of her hand due the arthritis, this would intefere with the use of the mouse.
