Little Time For Blogging

Took my mother for cataract surgery this morning.  My father insisted on coming along, which complicated matters.  He has so much trouble walking, getting in and out of the car, etc.  But he wanted to be there for my mother, which is sweet.  They just celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary.

Anyway, we had to get up at the crack of dawn and drove through bumper to bumper traffic.  I am tired and stressed.  Mom is doing fine though.

My sister-in-law refers to driving her mother to doctor appointments as her "part-time job."  I know just what she means.  Podiatrist, cardiologist, internist, dermatologist, opthamologist...As soon as we are done with one, it's time for the next.

But yes, it's much better than the alternative. I will drive them anywhere they want to go for as long as they are able, and may they continue to be able for many, many years to come.
