Alan went to the hospital yesterday for a check up with regard to the corneal oedema and it is completely cleared up. He is now on the waiting list (4-6 weeks) for the other eye!!
Alan is up and down. In many ways he is fine and in many ways he is losing his abilities rapidly. The other day he asked me what a plug was for. Now he can't remember how to clean his shaver out. Yesterday he didn't know whether he had to tuck his jumper in his trousers or not. When I talk to him about the little things he recently understood (ie wash your face), he now has a blank look. When I ask him whether he understand (simple instruction) he most of the time says "no". He doesn't want to go out much now although he will go for a walk with the carer. He doesn't like coming shopping any more.
On the other hand, he was able to play draughts with the carer (although I suspect she heavily assisted him) He was able to sweep up the leaves from the drive. He is able to wash and dry the dishes (although he sometimes uses the dish cloth to dry the dishes).
Love
