The very year that we began to planour Golden Wedding celebrations we were devastated by the news that Gerald had been diagnosed with Prostrate cancer, Alzheimer Disease and Macular Degeneration which eventually lead to his blindness. We had both retired and plannedto walk the South Coast Path.We looked forward toexploring the West Country, enjoying Devonshire Cream teas, and the sea view from our retirement flat - but the eveningbefore we moved into our apartment an alarming amount ofblood appeared in the hotel toilet!
Surgery was successful thanks to Seamus, a skilful surgeon with a great sense of humour.Thanks to him there was no recurrence;howeverAlzheimers Disease and increasing blindness began to take over our lives. This was compounded by a lack of understanding on the partof friends, relatives and even some administrative staff who had littleexperience and training to deal with a developing and distressingsituation.
