Her vision has not deteriorated so much that she can't function as she can no longer read a book, that combined with her inability to be able to use a keyboard is just frustrating.
This may give us some ideas, thanks.

Good luck to you it sounds like the way you're going would work. When you get older, especially when you ailing it's the little things that make a difference; being able to read a book, listen to music, enjoy a day in the sun, companionship, etc..

My Mother had Parkinsons.
As you probably know, the prescribed drugs are relatives of the LSD family - and she found that taking a higher dose prior to requiring good motor skills worked quite well - although the side effects could be scary (hallucinations for example) - but if she wanted to type or play piano, she would just dose up, do what she wanted (and have a remarkably good time of it!) and then suffer the almost completely frozen affects when it wore off by going to bed.
For the computer she used one of those trackball things[^]
(christ that was a long link) which she found usable, although not perfect.
With my mother, the mental confusion seemed to be much more a symptom of the drugs than of the disease itself (taking whopping amounts of LSD prior to popping to the shops for bread and milk is not recommended; she once abandoned her car in the middle of the street and 'ran' home because of the meteors that were streaking out of the sky; kudos to the policeman who tracked her down, knocked on the door, and after a brief chat, just suggested she tried not to drive after taking the drugs!)
There are large format keyboards[^] available which may help.

You can't "own" sheep in Wales. They have the vote, so it would count as slavery.

"Toxoplasma gondii could cause a change in our behaviour—even a change in our personality that could 'make us' like cats."
I have had some recent changes in behaviour. Last week I started spraying the plants around the front entrance and scratching up the railing on the deck.
Sorry about using the lounge as if it were Facebook.
I will sell the cats to science and invest in a Poodle.....and my next post will not be "I just breathed".

At the same time... about 19% of the US is currently infected with toxo and the percentage is rising. It is really only dangerous in people with compromised immune systems and pregnant women who were not infected before they became pregnant.
