Another false alarm/Carlos Pueblo
Recently I have been out of my life in the paradise due to Arthur's retinal detachment, a disease which may cause his left eye go blind. Lucky us we have had an eye specialist to operate and correct it. A few days ago, he was worry that it looked like he had the detachment again and something was on his left eye liked before. We made a move two days earlier to visit the surgeon and fasted himself a night before in case the procedure was needed. After careful examination to his left eye, the specialist indicated that was a laser scar from the previous operation. Both of us are relieved. I am born again. It is another false alarm.
I am a leader of many small tennis groups to arrange our daily senior tennis routine. Once I have to drive Arthur to do anything, I like to prepare the alternative players to fill up the gaps. This is also applying to any one who is absent. Yet it is not only for tennis, it is also about how stressful I have encountered. I have been lucky that such stressful situation has been away from me for thirty years. He has been basically healthy and I can manage almost every thing to make him safe and some of his happy life as a father. I consider that is my meaningful way of life.
I am very thankful that he has a job and reliable health insurance. I can handle the co-payment. He is in the system of the U.S. I don't dare to think of his life without a health insurance. The medical facility and specialists in Houston Medical Center is on the top of the world and we can visit a specialist for necessary procedure either on an out patient surgery or visit the hospital daily from home.
I made my annual requirement of minimum withdrawal for my credit cards debt as well as the incoming co-payment from his operation. I am OK that is under my capability to pay. I am very glad that I saved while I was working.
