I’m helping Mom complete an online health questionnaire, an important one for an upcoming appointment. It’s long, it covers a lot, and it’s challenging to do even without vision loss. I’m reading from the screen…
Me: “Ok, Mom here are the social support questions. Answer either True, Mostly True, Somewhat True, False, Mostly False, or Somewhat False—‘I have someone I trust to help solve my problems.”
Mom: “False”
Me: “Really, are you sure about that?”
Mom: “Totally, I don’t trust anyone to solve my problems”
Me: “No one? You have no one to help with your problems?”
Mom: “Not that I can think of”
Me, laugh yelling: “MOM I’M LITERALLY RIGHT HERE HELPING SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM!”
My favorite part was Paulie snorting from the other room.
