God. Pissed me off to NO END yesterday/today.

In a nutshell... Mum's gonna be 85 tomorrow... wet macular degeneration for several years so she is blind in the right eye... yesterday, the eye doc's assistant make a big deal about high pressure in her left eye and said the doc would double check it... then, the eye doc recommended cataract surgery be done within a year... Mum is scared to death of docs and all medical... she was upset (but steady).

The long story...

When the eye doc was done, she had not checked the pressure so I mentioned it. She had to put an extra set of drops in but she didn't use the freezing drops first nor did Mum get to sit in a drak room for the usualy 15 minutes and I could tell Mum was having discomfort. Usually, by the time the exam is complete, she can see okay to leave on her own and the discomfort is minimal. She was visibly shaken and upset and didn't want to go for her afternoon walkies at the shops.

I delivered some ham for her supper and her left eye was still messed up. I phoned her after supper and it was still messed up... she couldn't read the words in the info box on the TV in the living room. The main picture was blurry. She could see the one in the kitchen fairly well but it doesn't have an info box with writing. I checked my TV and it was fine so I figured it wasn't the signal. That upset her as well.

I talked to her on the phone this morning and her eye was still bad. She had been awake most of the night, had a headache and sounded weak and driained. I made an excuse to go see her and when I saw the TV... GOD fucked up the TV in the living room while we were at the eye doc!!! Even *I* could not read the writing from 2 1/2 feet away with my glasses on!!! I tried all of the picture adjustments. Still could not get a clear picture.

Fuck I was mad! Still am. Yes, at God. And I am gonna kick him in the nuts if I can get by Pete at the main gates. Not any time soon, I hope. Hmmmm... that's up to God, innit? Make that two kicks in the nuts.

God gets up my nose when he screws over a little old lady who has been nothing less that a saint all her life.

Yeah, I know. A long whiney story and a waste of your time but shit like that ain't supposed to happen to good people.
