Mommy's New Glasses

Mommy’s glasses is really awesome and it is one of the best buy the optician can offer. It’s not branded or anything but it serves it’s purposes. She chose a simple design with colored lenses to block out the sun so it’s kind of like a sunglasses with prescription lens.

As to her vision, it is still blur and she is still experiencing double vision intermittently. One minute is clear and the next she can’t see clearly. I think it’s the recovery process and it would take a while before her full vision is restored but I totally understand her impatience. I would be frustrated too should I have to live in blurriness without my glasses!

I convinced her to give it a month or two to see if there would be any improvement. In the meantime, I thought I’d make an appointment at the Singapore Eye Center for that December appointment. I figured if by November my mom’s eyesight is restored, I will just call them and cancel the appointment but if her eyesight is still the same, at least we have an appointment already.

So this morning, I called the Singapore Eye Center to make an appointment for the earliest available date. This is the shocker. It seemed that if we were to make an appointment as a private patient, we could get an appointment as early as tomorrow. It is only when we make an appointment with referral from the government polyclinic or OPD that the appointment would be sometime in January. This is because you pay a much subsidised rate when you come with an OPD referral letter.

I was like, “WHAT?” How come no one told me this the last time I called? I am so mad now but what’s done is done right? No point being angry (easy LJ). The important thing now is mommy has a new appointment to see the doctor on Wednesday. I hope they can figure out what’s wrong with her eyes because I’m getting worried too.

So friends, I’m gonna disappear again for a few days and settle my mommy situation in Singapore. Not sure when I’ll be back but I hope to be able to be online with the generosity of that Mr Nice Guy somewhere in the block..

Still Blur

It’s been about 48hours now since mom’s visit to the doctor. She is, unfortunately, still complaining of double and blurred vision. In fact, this morning she told me her eyes actually sting. I really don’t know what to do or say except to tell her to be patient. However, I am also bringing her to an optician first thing tomorrow morning to have her eyes checked. Perhaps she needs bifocal now and just not her reading glasses.

More updates soon…

Lagging Behind

Since mommy’s here, I have been lagging in my drops and my comments. I’m even down to number four at GP’s list of Top Commenter over at her blog. Each day as I look at my email, I see tons of reply comments from the other on the list vying for that coveted one month featured spot. I’m itching to reply to them but I can’t very well spend all my waking hours in front of Miss Fly replying comments when mommy’s here can I? I’m not complaining, mind you, I’m so happy my mommy is here and I’m even more glad that I could be around to help her recuperate from her eye “injury”. At least I can monitor her while she’s here and not have to wonder what’s going on in Singapore if she was still there.

So, I guess it’s just that competitor spirit in me talking. After being top TC for so long it definitely felt strange not to see my name at the top anymore and by the look of the aggressive commenting going on there, I doubt I would even be able to catch up but then again..you’ll never know eh.

Anyway, I got to go now as I got some research to do on Amerisave mortgages corporation for a friend. So I guess I see you when I see you ya

Cheerio…
