SKP Saguaro Co-Op, Benson, AZ - March 17-???
Now we have almost finished our short stay on our lot in Benson. Gayle's second cataract surgery did not go as smoothly as the first, as a membrane in his eye folded over just as they were getting ready to put in the new lens. This required a little more doctor supervision after the surgery, but all seems to be well now. The vision in the second eye will probably never be as good as the first, but it is so much better than before the surgery that Gayle is quite pleased.
While here, we haven't gotten much done, except for practical matters (doctors appts, car appts, etc) and social activities (bridge, great line dancing, etc). We enjoy our time here and this is an especially nice time of year.
Another parental issue reared its ugly head as Winston County Nursing Home, where Anne (Willie's mom) was living called to say that her condition had suddenly taken a turn for the worse. Her pulse & BP started fluctuating wildly and she was taken to the ER. After her condition seemed to stabilize during the night, the symptoms returned the next day. She spent several days in the hospital, unresponsive and unable to swallow and she finally passed away around 10 pm on Saturday, April 7. Willie will have to go there later this week to take care of some things, and there is lots of indecision in our short-term future plans.
