Again, how impaired was she if she stopped for them the first time.

This means nothing.

Two weeks before his death my grandfather got in his car to go driving somewhere, pulled out of his driveway and promptly rear-ended a parked car. We went over to visit him and he was upset at himself that it had happened, but we could tell something was off about him. He was speaking perfectly lucidly and logically, but then he couldn't figure out how to turn on his TV set.

And this was a man who, up to that point in his life, was completely cogent and independent. He was 10 days later (complications from a cancer relapse that most likely played a role in his mental state that day) - it was an illustration for me that when a mind starts to deteriorate, it doesn't exactly do so in predictable or logical ways.
