Maybe she`ll let me fiddle with the phone when she`s seeing the doctor
tomorrow. Little point in replying in detail before then. So I`ll have
a more detailed answer afterwards.
In a few days she`d going to her sister near Philadelphia and going to
the Wilmer Eye Clinic there. (She`s already had 3 or 4 eye surgeries
after being injured, the last one to replace a lens, that did not go
well enough. But the previous doctors agreed she should try again. Hate
to say it but I`ll have a lot more spare3 time when she`s gone.
