Today the older sageling brought home an electronics project. It was a DIY programmable remote control suitable for a television or a VCR (for those who remember them). We were putting it together when something came to me... six months ago I would have had the smallest chance of doing something like this successfully. My cataracts would have made tasks like reading the instructions and twisting wires together almost impossible. Today, while I was wearing my glasses for close-up work, those tasks were effortless. It really drove home to me the face that my eyes were no longer feeble.
Does the remote control work you may ask? I don't know yet, as we don't have any AAA batteries for it (the sageling forgot to get some). And since it is a remote for the television, I really don't care :)
Thank-you for reading
