Navigator--

Loss of sight and hearing makes both your father's life and your life more complicated--to say nothing of your wife's daily routine.

What does your father's doctor say?

I hope at least one of his sense organs can be corrected to the point that he's not in silent darkness.

There are now computers for use by the blind and deaf. What the cost is, I don't know. You print out on the computer screen via your thoughts, which are recorded electrically, as far as I know.

Thanks everybody. My father is nearly 88, and it's hard to deal with him as he also losing his memory and awareness. I took him to a good opthalmologist and aurist . They had a hard time check him. Whenever he sense that there is someone touching him, he wil start yelling and shouting and calling my name to take him home.
Even the medicatio we had, he REFUSE and Fight us with his only mobile hands. He NEVER accept any treatment at all.

Old age can be very undignified--and exhausting-- for all concerned.

Hold your dominion.
