Sadly he can't follow *any* kind of plot any more. I don't think he really understands what a story is any more and the last time we tried a film (pirates of the caribbean - I thought he'd like the ships at least, and he was interesting in !pirates!), he kept saying 'I don't understand what's going on'. He can't even just watch the pictures because his brain is trying to figure it out.

In addition the lighting is usually dark, which doesn't help his already bad eyesight, and the pictures often change too quickly for him to see what they are. And he can't follow a normal conversation any more. It has to be slow, specific and even then - well I have some quite good conversations with myself, since his half can be about something completely different! So we don't watch drama and I read waaaaay too much fanfic! *g*

Despite this we communicate quite well as long as it's about the things that he understands, like weather and aeroplanes and cars. :)
