A Chat with my Ophthalmologist, Car'mine opus 141
| 15 July 2023 1530 Hours | | Aging, Medical |
I am turning 82 next month, with a pending driver test renewal!
The written test, I may master with some practice and brain work,
But my eyes are basically immutable--not easily 'fixed'.
One eye is perfect for distance, the other for reading.
I asked how I might pass with one 'bad eye'.
I am so worried I may fail and be permanently banished from the roads.
Car'mine said, 'Please, you have a goldmine.
There are many who drive with only one good eye!'
I was stunned and my depressed thoughts were suddenly elevated.
'What you have just uttered has unleashed me to euphoria!'
My senior worries are much lessened
And I have now a chance to remain
As a functioning member of society with transportation.
A while longer! I am so grateful for your words.
Thank you.
