False Alarms

Took Mom to the doctor yesterday. She had been complaining over the weekend of a specific physical condition and we agreed I would call first thing Monday and set an appointment. The doctor's office was kind enough (and the condition was concerning enough) to give us 3:15 the same afternoon.

When we got into the examination room, however, she insisted everything was fine, denied any knowledge of the problem and claimed she had complained only of her eyesight (for which we had seen the eye doctor less than a week earlier and received some drops for a dry cornea). They took some vitals and everything was normal. I apologized. They nodded knowingly. We went home.

Mom said nothing on the way home or sitting on the couch until after dinner.

All is well, for now.
