Thanks again, Toni. Your posts are some of the ones I "save", because they contain tips I'm sure I'll use. I'm restricted by not being able to physically go to a grocery store so I'm not able to keep up with all the amazing food adventures available in today's world. Who ever thought there would be chocolate covered frozen bananas! I'm catching on to ordering from Amazon, and I can get delivery from one of the grocers in town, but not knowing what's available makes it difficult without shopping in person.
I'm going to Google strabismus and diploma. Not familiar to me.
Warm regards, Laurie PS I'm so impressed with how you care for your Mom. Bravo!

@avmcbellar Oops. Silly Spellcheck. I typed "diplopia" and it chose to say "diploma". Ah, these Thoroughly Modern Times. Lol.

You’re welcome Laurie @artist01. Thank you. I always have helped my elders out of respect as long as they want the help. I understand the current technology and try to help them feel less isolated because of the virus. More recently, I have finally been able to video chat with an older woman who I have known for years. I give her credit for her abilities to follow my directions. She is happy to be able to see me now. Before we phoned each other. Using technology, I have also figured out a way to tutor high school students. On the screen they can follow my notes as I write. They do the same to show me problems or questions. It works out well remotely. In the beginning I tutored in person at the high school but with the pandemic I didn’t want to take the chance.
Laurie, sometimes you may be able to see the items available for shopping by either going to the store’s website or by downloading their app. I have an Ipad which makes it much easier. I bring my Ipad with me after creating my list. The app tells me in order in which aisle to find my listed items. It makes shopping very quick. Usually in 30 minutes I am done. My husband loves it. He follows it too to get the items into the cart.
I do the same for my mother who has a grocery store within short walking distance for her. We video chat so I can tell her where to find the items using her cell phone.

The more you use the internet on your device the easier it will become. No worries. You are doing well to earn a diploma, lol.

Wow, you are aware of the challenges with the double vision. I am glad you finally found to overcome it. My double vision is a deficit from the AVM. I had to figure that out for myself too. I did see 2 neuro ophthalmologist and put the information together.
I have to be cautious to not fall. It does slightly improve with time. I am hoping it finally settles before the surgery. I have no choice but to wait for 100% medical coverage starting 2/1/2022. So I don’t mind. The outcome will be better in the long run. Sometimes I cover my bad eye to give myself a break. It helps temporarily.
Keep on practicing with your device! I believe the frozen chocolate covered banana are called Dianas Bananas Baby Bananas, dark chocolate. I hope your grocery story carries it. The popsicles are called Chloe’s Dark Chocolate Pops. Hugs, Toni
