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
