Over the past several weeks, my dear mother, having suffered the dislodging of the lens of one of her eyes, has had it replaced. As it will take several months to heal, it is therefore not possible to say how successful the operation has been.
Understandably, anybody would perceive this uncertainty, this having to wait and see, with some anxiety and apprehension.
Some people, depending on their general mood and outlook on life, would assume a positivistic, upbeat approach, as they count the days elapsing.
Expressing and looking for positive signs of hope and encouragement, even though they might be, understandably, harbouring some anxiety.
Others might adopt and project the worse case scenario outlook; that of seemingly expecting everything to fall apart and go wrong. Somewhat sadly, my dear mother appears to fall somewhere along the latter spectrum, regarding her operation.
I can only hope that more positive developments are occurring regarding the success of this operation, than what I have been able to get her to reluctantly disclose.
To be continued!
