Hi Everyone,
I saw my eye surgeon and I am seeing double because I have a, “lazy eye,” along
with the cataract. Apparently, my left eye cannot keep up with my right eye. It
lags behind. Lol It is kind of
disconcerting to see cars on top of each other – the same car, I mean.
This is a photo by the Marine Corps. This is a bit like double vision, but it isn't quite so faded in the background.
I’m very
happy it wasn’t a mini-stroke. But I’m still going to continue taking a
low-dose aspirin every day. Old people like me are supposed to do that; so says
the teeny-bopper-emergency doctor.
My mom is in
the rehabilitation facility again, but she is refusing to exercise. She says
all she wants to do is stay in bed and sleep. I’m afraid she is depressed, but
I have to admire her spunk in saying a big "No" every time they try to get her to
exercise. I don’t blame her at all. She is 90 yrs. old and just wants to rest.
I think she will be booted out soon for insubordination. Lol
Well, if she is, she will go to live in a beautiful nursing home and I'll be there almost every day, just like now. I really enjoy visiting her.
I asked her
nurse to get her a psych consult to see if they can help her with depression.
She is eating, but not much. I read to her and buy her chocolate bars, and she likes that. I actually got her to go
outside for a “wheelchair bocce” game today. She wouldn’t play, but she did say she enjoyed
watching the others play. This was a good sign. They served ice cream and
lemonade afterwards. The people at this place have been very kind since we have
come back.
Meanwhile,
back in the spiritual realm, God has been a rock, a strong tower, my shield and
sword. I have found shelter under the shadow of his wings. I don’t fear evil,
for he is with me. His rod and his staff comfort me. The Bible does not lie. As
long as we pour out our hearts to him, all the promises of his comfort and
strength come true.
“Fear not, for I am with
you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help
you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
