Toni, I am 70, and my age along with all my other ailments played a part in excluding me from repairing the tear. I have prayed hard on this, and sometimes I laugh at myself because I lose sight of how lucky I am in so many ways. My daughter has her Master's in Social Work and she feels there is no need for any senior to be in more pain than a mild headache. That would involve some serious medication at times. C'est la vie. Thank you and again, will pray for the right decision and will pray for your Mom as well.

Thank you @angelameyer you are young. Your daughter will help you decide what is best for you. I am glad she is there for you. I am 57 and also help my mother remotely. I periodically visit her in person but we video chat daily. I have taught her the modern technology so she can use the internet to communicate. She often calls friends and family. Because of her macular degeneration she has low vision. I help decipher her mail and messages on her door. I remotely pay her bills and arrange rides to her medical appointments. I keep track of everything for her. She takes care of her apartment and buys food from a local market to cook. She does well for herself. I think it gives her a purpose in life to keep going. With this pandemic she mostly stays indoors. Only goes out for medical appointments, medications, or food. She does the best she can. I am praying for you as well to stay healthy and continue to do the things you enjoy. Stay positive and take care of yourself. Toni
