Update-we went to eye doc today. He treated hubby with the laser. Said it was a small tear but still bleeding so it was hard to see well. If this doesn’t take care of it he will require surgery. He also has 2 cataracts but we can’t worry about that until this is taken care of and heals.
Hello Cuties, I don’t know where to begin. For someone who tries to live a quiet life, tending to my own business it seems like life is anything but quite for me.
My daughter Marsha called yesterday. Her daughter Lanie has Covid. Lanie is tough, young and healthy but she text me this virus is really kicking her butt. Says she gets so weak, almost passes out.
Today hubby had to go see eye dr. He has a torn retina and goes to specialist in the morning. Hubby didn’t ask questions and of course, I couldn’t go in but was full of questions when he came out. I don’t know what to expect but I will wear my mask and hopefully go with him to find out what is what in the morning.
Prayers requested for both of them. Thank you

Will be praying for a healthy and complete recovery for your granddaughter. Also for the doctors to know just what needs to be done for your husband and that they will let you go in with him.

Hi Toogie positive thoughts coming your way. You certainly seem to be having a time of it at the moment and hope that life calms down for you all. Covid is strange, some people hardly know they have it and others are dreadfully ill with all sorts between the two. I ended up at the vets the other day for my daughter and ended up handing my phone to the vet as I was stuck in a three way conversation - me being the middle person. Tell your husband to take his phone and then you can talk to the Doctor
Take care and look after yourself

I went in with him, with my mask, so no problem. Maybe when they see old people together they just assume one needs the other to understand- I don't know if they think it's me or him-lol

Hope your granddaughter begins to feel better real soon. Covid is an awful sickness! Hope you get some good info from your husband's eye doctor! Why is it men don't ask questions? Of course, both your hubby and your granddaughter are in my prayers!! Take good care of yourself too, Toogie!! Hugs, Laura

Toogie, you can have hubby call you on cell phone and participate that way. I was able to do that with my husband's visits to oncologist. Hugs. Nan

I went in with him and no one tried to stop me. The way he walks, since his back injury and the fact of age , they probably thought he need his YOUNG wife with him!-lol Lol

Oh my, what a scary time this is. Please ell Masha to encourage Lanie to rest and rest some more. Believe it or not, my treatment plan while in the hospital and now includes rest. And I hope she is being followed by a doctor. There are treatments.
I agree with everyone else, order your hubby to call you so you can listen in and ask questions. These phone conversations with a doctor do work. Best wishes for getting your questions answered and prayers for Lanie and your hubby and you.

You know we talked about how young people are...arr....She is on meds and inhaler. The health department, as far as I know doesn't check on her like they did my sister.
I went in with him yesterday and he saw MY dr so my dr was used to me asking questions. Came and spoke with me afterward too.

Hi Toogie, may God bless Lanie so that she gets over the Covid virus and return to full health. Also for your husband's eye, I do pray that something can be done for him. For you my dear, take it easy and try and rest . Prayers are being said for you all. Love Chris

Thank you Chris, dr said was a small tear but still bleeding so I hope he fixed it and no future surgery. Lanie is young and so what can I say. They think nothing can harm them.....

Toogie - when you go to the retinologist they should allow you to go in with your husband. When they diagnosed me with macular degeneration last May, so many doctor offices did not allow anyone in, but they allowed my husband to wait in the car and when I was in talking to doctor they allowed him to come in and sit and ask questions with me. However, he had to go back to car while I had treatment and was not allowed to wait in the reception area.
Prayers to you and your family....This has been a tough year for you. Cyber Hugs.

This had been a tough year for all of us. Hopefully life will improve soon for us all with the vaccination of so many. Mrs Lillian is 82 and still trying to get hers....
When I took my husband to the ER a few weeks back, I could not go in the hospital or get out of my car. Sent me home with a phone number to call the ER for updates. He was able to come home in a few hours and they put him in the car. I have a whole new sympathy for people with loved ones in the hospital. It's hare to walk away from someone you love.
