How lucky we are that mom, (grandma,) is still in such fine form. On this, her special day, it's the perfect time to update you on her present circumstances.
The photo shows her getting her annual eye exam earlier this week at Lanark Place Retirement Center. With macular degeneration in her left eye the right eye more than compensates after laser surgery last year. In fact with her right eye she can read the bottom line of the eye chart at 10 feet with no glasses!
Her overall health remains excellent overall. She takes minimal medication, is quite mobile with the use of a walker, eats well and is alert and pleasant to other guests and staff. Last month our annual review with residence staff revealed she remains very involved with social interaction and, of course, with daughter Nan now on site as well, she has a well balanced and interesting social schedule.
All in all, life is grand for our matriarch who will celebrate her birthday on June 7 with 87 candles on the cake. As usual, we'll be throwing a little party and hope you can all attend. In the mean time why don't you give our old doll a dingle at 519-749-0958.
