so, when i started the drive around noon today to take mom out to her eye appointment, i was hoping the traffic was going to be good. for the most part, other than being followed by a sheriff for a few miles, it was a decent ride. eventually, i found the place after a wrong turn. sometimes mom gets her lefts and rights confused these days. i know they wanted us there early to finish filling out the paperwork which mom could never get to come up on her phone or ipad. eventually, they called her back. the first guy she saw was sort of this matter of fact i don't need the story guy. he was filling in all her paperwork on the computer. mom is wordy when she gets nervous, and i could tell her anxiety was really fucking with her on this. eventually, she got used to what the guy was asking and calmed down. by the time she saw the second doctor, she was pretty good. her right eye is the worst eye, so that would be the one they would do surgery on first. it is going to be tricky if mom decides to have it, as she would have to lay flat for 24 hours afterwards. given her spinal stenosis, i have no clue if this is even possible. she made the comment on the way home that she wishes she never would have made this appointment. i understood what she meant. she knows what is possible but also knows what her physical ailments are that could limit her chances of it really being successful.
so, the drive home was crazy. i could see behind me that two cars were weaving in and out of traffic, almost like they were either filming shit for YouTube or this was the beginning of some road rage shit. so, i fucking floored it to get around the truck in front of me and get plenty away from those fucks. thankfully, there were no cops around since i was going 50 mph over the speed limit. i hate the long drives for mom because every bump in the road she can feel in her back. and here in Ohio, since no one wants to pay taxes, the roads are shit. good times.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Carolina, 2-1. that's 6 wins in a row. it was a costly one though, as Adam Fox got injured on some cheap shit from Sebastian Aho and is now out 2-4 weeks. Filip Chytil is out as well. and i guess Igor Shesterkin is dealing with an injury as well. joy.
