After an eternal month, my grandmother and I finally visited the second ophthalmologist. Unsurprisingly, the doctor’s office was packed of anxious patients, so we waited for more than three boring hours to be attended.
The
doctor’s assistant ran a battery of medical tests to my grandmother. As in the
visit to the first ophthalmologist, my grandmother failed all the eye exams.
She wouldn’t have seen an elephant right in front of her eyes.
Something
curious happened during the eye exams. My grandmother could see the same
letters and objects on the wall with her glasses than without them. I asked why
she wore glasses. She answered that she felt more secure wearing them even
though her glasses are useless.
With
the test results in our hands, we entered into the doctor’s room. Contrary to
the first ophthalmologist, the second one was a middle-aged man full of energy.
Again, the diagnostic was a severe case of cataracts. The doctor explained
patiently all the procedures and possible risks of the outpatient surgery to my
grandmother. After thinking for a moment, my grandmother agreed to do the
surgery, and the doctor scheduled the surgery for July 2.
To
be continued.

Prepositions!@#$% The curse of language learners!
*"Unlike the first..." might be better.
Three hours is insane.
Thanks Matt. I don't know what to do with prepositions.
ReplyDeleteLet's just do away with them. Let's just use "prep" to cover all prepositions in both languages. Starting now...

Espero que tu abuela esté bien ahora. Hace muchos años mi mamá tuvo esta operación y fue un gran éxito. Por primera vez, ella dio cuento de que su nieta tenía pecas a través de a la nariz. Antes no podía verlas.Pobrecita ¡era tan sorprendida! Esto me recuerdo muy claramente porque era gracioso y un poco triste a la misma vez.
