As I'd said earlier, my mom had undergone surgery on both her eyes for cataract just last week and today was the review by the ophthalmologist who's given her the green signal to do just about everything that he'd asked her to refrain from during the last week - like washing her eyes (rather the upper face) or having a bath, watching the TV and to lie on her sides while sleeping. Poor mom took those restrictions in her stride with a smile but I know what that meant to her. We tried our best to update her with the news and the progress of some of her pet serials.
And after her visit to the eyecare, she had an appointment with the ENT guy as she's woefully hard of hearing. The fact is that she had bought herself a hearing aid, about four years back, but has not got used to it as she finds it totally irritating and noisy! Thus, speaking to her over the telephone has become a nightmare. With the help of the doctor I was able to convince her that the use of the aid was essential to get her out of her present discomfort.
After our return from the clinic and throughout the course of the evening, she'd bravely put on the aid and has decided to use it more often, much to our delight. Hope she's able to get over her discomfort and get used to the contraption at the earliest.
It will help her to be adequate!
