    Staying with my old dad for a while, he has dementia so it's ... interesting.

    We're looking at old folks flats, been to the doctor for a chat, shopped for clothes...

    He was complaining his sight was deteriorating, he had cataract ops a couple of years ago. So we went to the opticians. To get him to go I volunteered for a check too.

    He's fine, but I now have contact lenses. Buggrit! :mad:

    It's beyond that, time for sheltered housing or old folks home, just need keep putting the idea in his head until he thinks he thought of it himself instead of completely forgetting. :)

    If you've got boxing gloves on , is it entirely necessary to wear an eye mask :rolleyes:
     
  15. Have you tried thinking of Anne Widdecombe? That often works.
