My 89 year old father lives 5 minutes away from us and I see him 5 days a week, take him shopping, do his laundry and make his tablets up. Today he had a minor eye op which my brother took him to. My brother (who lives further away than me) is also staying with him overnight. My father has been told he must use 3 different eye drops 4 times a day and he has told my brother that I will have to go over to do them as, apparently, he can't manage eye drops!
Before my dad accepted the date for the op I told him that we were having friends to stay and that I might not be able to see him as often this week. We can't afford to go away this year for various reasons so we have invited friends to stay this particular week as there is lots going on in the town we live in. My dad is going on holiday 3 times this year, he is fairly healthy and can get himself onto buses to get into town. Am I being unfair to expect him to learn how to administer his own b****y eye drops?
