For several years my 86 year old uncle (my late father's older brother) has been legally blind. He certainly had very poor eyesight when my father died back in 2004.
My aunt died last December. 3 weeks later, on what would have been their 60th wedding anniversary, my uncle and the rest of us spread my aunt's ashes around her beloved garden. My uncle had to be helped my his daughter because he couldn't see the garden.
A few days ago my uncle had a fall and was admitted to hospital. He had to have stitches to his head and the doctors tested his heart to see if he had an underlying condition that could be behind the fall. Yesterday he was told his heart was fine and that he could go home today.
During his last night in hospital my uncle felt a pop in his head and all of a sudden he could see. The doctors are rather mystified why this has happened but we are all overjoyed.
