[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 664972, member: 1550"] I'm so sorry, Copa. I was so cheering for you to do something nice for yourself, since you deserve it so much. Copa, my husband had to have two corneal transplants. Yes, from dead people...I ask him now if he sees ghosts. Ok, it's not funny, and wasn't. One day he couldn't see. It just happened. But after surgery he went right back to work with some restrictions and went on. I often wonder how he can just shrug things off. Copa, the cloudiness does sounds like cataracts. My husband had those too and they were removed during the operations (he had two). Why would you cancel a trip over that? And, Copa...you can chose to go to different doctors. I am very careful about who I see. Verrrrrrrrry careful. Since working in hospitals at a young age, I have learned to somehow find out who the other doctors send their loved ones to see and choose them. Is your health plan very restrictive? I would not want to go to somebody who treated anybody I knew without respect. I need warm and fuzzy doctors with good track records behind them. Suzir, I did not chime in, not because I don't care, but because I don't really understand what your father is doing, in his mind, or why. So I do get why it is so puzzling to[I][B] you[/B][/I]. He sounds like a bit of a con man maybe? And he has no right to call you mundane. Just from your postings here, obviously you are ANYTHING but that...your intelligence and caring shines through. I am glad for you that you did not have to live with your father. I believe it is easier if your more dysfunctional parent is not with you day-to-day as a child. I marvel at all three of you--Copa, Cedar, Suzir--I am in awe of your collective intelligences. I am nowhere near any of you there. I say this without demeaning myself, just as a fact. So sometimes I choose just to read and learn from all of you and do not add much because I feel it would not be helpful or needed. But that doesn't mean I don't care. I care about anyone struggling in any way due to family member who treats you as less than adequate. It is always hurtful, but it does get better. [/QUOTE]
