Went back to the unit to call Doris: 1) Quang and Annie were at the house to fill out the visitation forms. Hopefully, they will be approved and they can visit in a couple of weeks. 2) Doris sounded good and said the nebulizer helped her and have not had any asthma attacks after using it. 3) I asked her to look into web publishing as the price was very reasonable $20 – $50 to create the webpage and a small monthly maintenance fee.
She can consult Karlee and Chris when they visit her about the web page. 4) I asked her to start laying the groundwork to build our support team by contacting public officials about my volunteering when I reenter the community. The webpage will help develop our resource and support group and adds credibility and authenticity to our cause. 5) Tomorrow is her appointment with Dr Scott Lee. Her appointment is at 9:00 AM. She suggested that I call afternoon tomorrow. I told her my multi-focal lens is working very well. I would pay for her to have both her corneas replaced with Multi-focal lenses to help her regain her eyesight. She was nervous if she will be blind. I assured her she will have better eyesight soon.
