Our parents need very little
But that little too much and we must take care of it on priority.
She has been feeling heaviness in the head for quite some time, and it's something, that does not have a straight cause. Go to a private hospital, they will start with a MRI, several blood tests without even touching you or trying to correlate because they get incentives out of it - ya, that is where we have landed - they literally loot you in tests before doing anything. Given that, she has multiple health issues (which is normal and we will all land there), we decided to get her checked in different departments, one by one, based on a suggestion of my close friend, who is in Medicine Marketing and quite familiar with health issues. He is often my first point of contact, to go to home and check if I am not around, only friends can do it. So at first, I took her to the Pulmonologist, who is treating her since last three decades. In fact because of him, she has been able to survive Pneumonia twice, so he is quite familiar with her health status. After he performed a basic Pulmonary function test (PFT), checked her chest and confirmed that, the heaviness in the head is not related to his area, we were a bit relieved because that was the most sensitive field, and she gets admitted suddenly, if something goes wrong. The next on our list was Eye check up, as per my friend. Unfortunately we don't have good private facility at my native place, but as per my friend, the govt hospital was providing all the services and we should go there. The other option is to bring them to my place, and go straight to a better private facility, but that definitely costs a good chunk (as you buy that comfort) and Mom is always very conservative in spending money, so she wanted to try the govt hospital first and figure out the root cause. My friend has good relationships with doctors and he accompanied us, and helped her go through all different tests, which confirmed that her power in the eye has changed. They also asked us to come another day to test the eye pressure after dialeting her eyes and that indicated, cataract is just starting, but not an immediate point of concern.
Do you know, they give you the specs free at Govt hospitals ? Its good quality even, but the downside is that it takes 3 months. So we decided to go to a private shop at my native. We will still get the one provided by Govt after three months, they will call us for that.
After seeing the reports, they showed us frames to choose and promised to deliver the spec in 15 minutes - that was quite impressive. If you go to big fancy shops, they will take your order and ask you to come back at least after a week. But the reality is that, the lens comes ready, and they have to cut it, polish it and fit to the frame, which does not take more than 15 minutes.
No third party involved here, the owner himself has got all the skills and machines and as promised, the spec was delivered in 15 minutes.
And imagine the cost ? It's only 1000 rupees, including everything. He was quoting 1300/-, but again my friend quoted some relationship with his uncle, and he agreed to not take much profit. The same frame and lens would cost at least 4 times more in a posh facility at the Capital.
And look at the happiness at her face, as soon as she put it, she could feel the difference. And she was more happy because I came, stayed, took her to all these places and finally made this happen. May not feel a big thing to us, but at this age, they feel that care, fulfilling their little needs as soon as they require it. We have to take care of them like we do for our children, and we all will go through this, so hopefully our children may also carry the same feelings and do this for us.

They are small details, as you say, friend, but they surely make them big since they help a lot to achieve emotional stability later for your parents.
Yes, of late, that has become a trend.
Wow.... super fast.
Exactly...it's a way to reciprocate our gratitude and our turn will also come. Aging parents need the very basic things and that should be taken care of. Health is always the priority in old age. You are doing a great job. These little things bring a big smile to their face and that's the reward.
Thank you.

Thank you so much, they took care of everything for us, when we were a kid.

The annoying part about the posh hospitals is that most times, they keep clients for long hours and still charge so much for basic services.
It is a great thing that you accompanied your mom there as health is really a priority especially for aging parents and so is the company of their loved ones.
My mum had to undergo a MRI test sometime ago too. Her ear echoes all the time even till now and we haven’t found a solution
I’m glad you were able to take care of your mother
Aging parents need serious help and God bless those who help them
I’m sure your kids will do the same for you someday
I think, that's tinnitus , which does not have any cure. If she can deliberately practice to ignore, she will not feel it after some time. My son has that as well.
Yeah... the happiness of the parents is to be with his/her child always.😊
It's great that the problem that your mother felt resolved and you are able to find the solution. 😊
Every child should take care of their parents as they take care of us in our childhood or in every stage of life.
Exactly, unfortunately, many don't realize before regretting.
I just feel some hospitals need to be sanctioned for this. This habit is very absurd. I remembered the day I took an emergency patient to a hospital, and they were asking for some documents, and they said we should pay for the test, and I was like, Patience needs attention first. That should have been the first thing, before anything else. Having old parents like this requires you to spend more on their health because of their immunity. I am happy you were able to get her a good glasses. I hope it serves her well. Kudos to you for this.
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏

Your post is a thoughtful and encouraging reflection on the dedication and care you’ve shown in managing her health journey.
Your love ones are lucky to have you, your support, and you are genuine care for them. I wish you and your family a good and happy life.
We are here in this world because of our parents and we owe them a lot.
Namaste 🙏 Sir, nowadays doctors forget his her duty, they are money making machines and they don't have any sympathy with patient 😥.
You choosed wisely to go to a private opthomilogist instead of government hospitals.
Happy to see aunty's face have smile 🤗
Unfortunate, but true.
I think with the latest advancements in medical technology they are better at determining the cause of the illness with the tests. I remember a time when it was just mostly guess work, where they try to give some meds and see how the body reacts to it. I'm glad that you are able to help your mom with her problem, and I hope she gets better soon.
Good day. I came across your article and read it. I realize how lucky I am to live in Europe, in a rich society. The average life expectancy in our country today is about 80 years. We have a functioning healthcare and education system. I wish you that it will soon be the same in your country.
Well, in my country everything is there, but neither the govt ensures, they are functioning the way they should be, nor the people care to respect each other, to wait and allow the system to work smoothly. Nothing can happen in this country, because we are overly populated, and every one thinks, they should take their share first.
I like the step taken than waiting for 3 months to get the one from the government, our parents deserves everything we could give them 🥰🙏

It is true that all of us should serve our parents, fulfill their small needs and ask them for anything, because when we came into this world, they gave us every need. A wish was fulfilled.
This reminds me on how I and my siblings too care of my mom when she was hospitalized, the love showered on her made her recovered speedily.
I'm happy to see you really doing the same with your lovely mom because taking care of our parents is the children's priority.
Yes! If you go to any hospital without knowing the basic reason, first you are made to take several tests and sometimes you are even given wrong treatment....All this is harsh reality this time 😔
Happy to see that your mother got the right reason and get nice glasses 😊

What a great job you are doing in caring for your mother, dear friend @sanjeevm
It's great to have friends who can help health professionals attend to your mother more quickly.
Yes, she looks very happy with the new glasses.
Thank you very much for sharing this experience with your mother
I’m sure you must have spent a lot of money in the hospital because of what happened to her
I’m glad she’s fine now. I’ve gone through a MRI test too
No, spent less, as the tests were all free in govt hospital.
Your Mother's happiness is priceless and taking tests to know our complete state of health is the best decision. Furthermore, our parents always deserve that we be attentive to any eventuality.
