ON A PERSONAL NOTE: Mom's Eyes part 3


Spoke to Mom again last night.   She was sleepy and waiting to let the new girl out but overall she was feeling ok.  She took an aspirin because she said the eye felt a little sore at times but not as bad as it did the previous day.  The eye wasn’t as cloudy according to her.  I am of course monitoring everything.  Everything seems to point towards either cataracts or her sinuses.  I am still hoping that the cataracts can hold until I get there at least in September but preferably in December.  I need my cousin down there for assistance.  I will be frank; I am not optimistic.  I fully expect to talk to her today and hear that the eye is giving her more trouble.  I pray to God I am wrong but at her age things don’t usually get too much better.

 I do have to call the Volusia Council for the Aged though.  They have a service that will have a person take her to the doctor and wait with her then take her home.  No I am not fond of that because I haven’t met the person.  However I don’t have much of a choice.  My mother and my aunt do know people down there but they are all older adults close to their age.  They are not in a position to do much.  To be honest I doubt if they would if they were able.  This is one of the reasons I feel certain services should be government run.  People on their own generally do not want to be burdened with other folks’ issues…but that’s another entry for another day.

The members of the church they attend are older or too young or working folks.  That never affects the need a person may have though.
Getting old sucks
