As I told you yesterday I have been to the Opticians today. My son took me, Priscilla and my Zimmer frame, found a parking place as near as possible to the surgery and then - in a very strong, gusty wind I walked over the road and he walked with my frame alongside Priscilla and me.
Once inside the receptionist helped me up the three steps and on to the stairlift (my first time) while the Optician stood at the top and helped me off. My son had taken my frame upstairs so I was able to walk into the surgery with that. After all the tests we did the same thing in reverse, I chose the two frames (varifocals and reading glasses) and then I rang my son to collect me which he did. Crossing the road to his car was even more scary in the gusty wind.
I came back almost six hundred pounds lighter but I have gone to the same man for the last thirty years, my eyes are now almost ninety year old eyes and he keeps me able to read as well as is possible for my age - so a price well paid.
Too tired to write more. Hopefully I shall sleep well tonight.

Lovely knowing your Optician is caring for your precious eyes - and that he actually put in a stairlift as there's no elevator! Great news all around.
Sweet dreams - and no price is too much to have eyesight and the continuing ability to read!
Hugs, Mary
I'm so glad to know your son was there to help you navigate the obstacles, and that you have the glasses ordered. Those eyes
of yours are special; they allow you to read, and to blog! Fortunate you are to be able to retain the same optician over many years. .
Having your son to help is always good. We only have one set of eyes and keeping them healthy is worth whatever the price. You'll rest well tonight, as you've had a busy day.
I'd bet you will sleep well tonight. Not only because of all the effort it took to get to the Optician but you also have your eyes all sorted out now and can continue to read and blog which are such needed activities for you. That must relieve your mind and set you up for sweet dreams.
Glad it worked out for you.
What a trip, and what a workout. You have a good son, there when you need him. I hope your new "eyes" work wonderfully for you.
I am so glad that your son went with you. I was concerned about the steps.
I am going to bet you DO sleep soundly tonight. Being out in the wind wears a person out.
I'm relieved the journey to and from the optician's office went off without a hitch. It sounds like your optician takes good care of his patients. Sleep tight tonight.
I'm so glad your son could go with you. That is another appointment completed and behind you! I hope you sleep well!
What a task for you but it all went off successfully with the help of the people around you. Don't order to many books to read!
Phew! It sounds exhausting just reading about it, but I never doubted you would have help - either your son, or in case he was not available at the time you needed to go to your appointment, one of your many good friends who always look out for you.
Does your optician suggest any operation? Like I said in my previous comment, my cataract surgeries were so successful I can only recommend it.
Sounds as if things went well, hope the new glasses keep you reading for many many more years.
Super son...I love that...mine is a gem too...glad you can see better now Pat..I must go to mine...I keep putting it off!!
Well worth it.
Thanks everyone. See you in the morning.
