She was clearly anxious over her impending eye surgery. She ultimately had it done on both eyes and came through with flying colors.
She writes:
Dear Shelby,
Received both your letters. We had a lot of fog here too for several days.
I went to Dr. Shore yesterday & he gave me a physical. Says I am O.K. I will never be the same again! I don't have the stamina I once had.
I do dread this operation. I am so afraid I will do some dumb thing that might tear the stitches. The least pressure like a bad coughing spell or sneezing can do harm. I am doing a lot of both lately. My sinuses are so bad. Dr. Shore gave me a bottle of new drops. Dr. Jones said "Use Sudafed.". I guess it will be about 4 weeks till I can drive. Yes, Harold and Ruth will be a big help.
I have been lucky all my life in that I never was really sick in all those years.
Out at the library they have a room with books for sale. I went in there last week & found "Thurston House" by Danielle Steel. I have been looking for it for so long. It must have been one of her first. I got it for 25 cents. It is a paperback & looks like it was never read.
I don't know how much reading I can do for a while but they do say you can watch tv.
I hope your & Jack's colds are better.
Donna is so busy I don't bother her to cut my hair. I go out to one of the Holiday Shops & the girl that I usually get, left, so now I will have to use someone else.
I am sure I can write to you even though I have to wear dark glasses in the house if the lights are "too glary".
Well hon, write soon. Take care,
Love Always,
Grandma
P.S. Love to Jack.
