Eye Exam and "Eye-Hop"

On Friday, Fran and I had an eye exam appointment. We picked her up about 3:15 p.m. and headed to the doctor's office. While we were waiting, Mom told Phil about her lunch. She said that she had some “pounded chicken”. Everyone in the office had a good laugh at our comedian mother.

Fran explained to the doctor that when she tried to read, the middle of the sentences were blurry. After a thorough exam, the decision was made to have two pair of glasses made - one for distance and one for reading. The trifocals were not doing the job for her and the doctor thinks they were causing the blurriness.

We had fun picking out frames with the assistance of two young technicians oohing and aahing over how she looked in different frames. The appointment took about two and a half hours.
When we finished we all decided to go to IHOP for dinner. Three pancakes, bacon, and several cups of coffee later, Fran was very content. We all were tired from the day so off we went to take her back to the rehab center. On our way back, she decided that she wanted some cheese crackers for her room. We stopped for those and then took a tired, but happy southern lady back to tuck into bed for the night. One of her favorite aides was waiting for her to help get her settled.

Hopefully. her glasses will be ready to pick up by mid-week and we all can plan another outing. Fun was had by all.
