eye and strain

One of many exercises, Thomas works on his shoulder. Although Thomas originally led me to believe that he had only a few, perhaps three therapy sessions. The doctors and therapits suggested that he might need more. That isn't bad, just not as predicted. He seems to be doing okay with them. He has also developed knee pain. When it rains, it pours.

Lois had an appointment on Friday with the optomatrist who wanted to see her after taken photos of her eye. According to the doctor, she has problems, but he didn't feel that surgery was the right course of action right now. That was a relief. Thomas and Lois got there and had the "joy" of waiting around 90 mintues to see the doctor.

With the statements given, I thought -- why did they have to see him, especially if they had to wait, but ... I guess a phone call would have raised too many questions. So, while Lois' eye is not a surgical need, nor is Thomas' knee and shoulder.

All the while, Diane had some work to complete and Jennifer wanted to come home from Purdue. Marcus lent a hand or wheel and drove to pick up Jennifer. The trip there was fine, but getting out was less clear and they lost 30 minutes getting out.
