a twinkle in my mother's eye
My mother went to the emergency room yesterday because she can't see out of her right eye. It's been gradually getting worse and she finally decided to find out what's going on. She can only see light and color which sounds like something pretty serious.
The doctor there told her it sounded like a cataract and set her up with an appointment to see an eye specialist today at 3.
I'm not as worried as yesterday (when I was thinking "oh shit, is it a tumor?") but I'm still concerned about her. If she ends up going in for surgery it's going to mean a road trip for me.
Someone at work told me they'd pray for her and I realized I appreciate that sort of thing. I'm an atheist but I appreciate the fact that they have concern for their fellow human beings. If I were religious I'd probably do the same thing for people. It was sweet.
