Jean, how would John feel about spoken word books ? You can get them on CD or tape. You can even download some books for free from the internet & burn them to disc or keep on your hard drive. Maybe that would help him. Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent, UK. Your county needs YOU !!! http://FreeCEN.rootsweb.com Looking for ancestors in Kent ?

What a nightmare journey.Glad everyone had such a good time once at the venue.....and I wasn't bored, Karen. You asked after John and I must say that his condition has improved over the past couple of months, now that he has accepted it. Unfortunately he has developed cataracts in both eyes so is unable to read much at the moment and that has always been his greatest enjoyment. He sees a specialist on Monday, so we will hear what he has to say.
