It's disturbingly uplifting to hear this, Teri. It's disturbing because, as a caregiver who was in and out of A&E during Dad's care, I knew each time was more likely to be a traumatic experience than a trusting experience. Transactional > caring was the equation I used, but sometimes there was that one nurse or doctor who really saw us.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm so glad to hear you've managed to get both eyes done. xo

“Ha ha. Get the fuck away from me.” You’re killing me over here, Teri 🤣😂

Poignant ending, too. Completely unacceptable that it has taken this long to get treated like a human from start to finish. But I guess it’s good that you had this experience at least now. And great that both eyes went well. Congrats!

Thanks so much for all of your promotions and quoting and comments (Teri gushed.) This post is one of the few of mine that I ended up feeling good about, so then you want everyone to like it, too. ❤️

I also love it if I can make you laugh. To me, the humor is partly intended to make the subject matter more accessible—in the reader sense.
