When you become disabled, move into a retirement community, can't drive and finding a lift anywhere is practically impossible, NO WORRIES---Welcome to 2012, really back to the future, because foot specialists, notaries, eye doctors, dentists, opticians, heck, they will come to YOU!
Above is my mobile optician, Cynthia, holding some eye testing thingy. Her business is appropriately named, Gypsy Specs "Traveling Optician," 425-941-7790. If you are in the Seattle area. We had a fun time.
First I made her guess my age. She had said, "You look too young to be living here." Game on.
Her guess was "61." (I'm 54) This led to my teasing her about hurting my feelings. (Good times. Oh, and this was the FIRST time someone guessed me older than I am...probably not a good sign. Not that I CARE about age...just sayin', uh-hem.)
Then a screw came loose from a pair of glasses I asked her to clean for me and I got yardage out of that. "You've been here 5 minutes and already called me old and broke my glasses. HOW long have you been doing this?" (She has actually been doing this great traveling gig for FIFTEEN years. And I'm excited about getting my new glasses!)
So I am learning how to get around arranging expensive taxi and van rides that take up half my day. COME TO DIANE. I highly recommend these home services. The cost is so much less than a drive to them. One day maybe doctors will make house calls again, but until then, every little bit helps. I got new nose clips, my frames get new digital lens, and all loose screws were tightened.
Well, all but me.
