Dad's vision will never recover. The optician confirmed today that the reason his cataract operation has not created such an improvement in his vision this time is because his actual eyes are deteriorating fast with age. He could barely read the third line on the chart.
He's going to have to give up the car.
I hate this, watching him gradually lose his independence and his health and skills. He's always been so strong and healthy, and has so quickly become old. He's talking about updating his will and setting his affairs in order. I somehow need to help him retain his motivation to do things and enjoy life to the full, such as he is able... somehow get him over his aversion to paying for a taxi for a start.
I love him so much, and this aging process is so cruel. Dad, I love you.
