We know, from going to the eye doctor earlier, that she has cataracts, but she refuses to have surgery for them. That may be why we had this conversation earlier today about a stuffed rabbit at Hobby Lobby:
G: Oh, just look at that cute little rabbit with the blue carrot!!
E: Blue carrot?
G: No, I mean the purple carrot.
E: Um...
G: Oh, it's an orange carrot. I'll get it right eventually.
But, lately, we have been having to repeat ourselves multiple times for her to hear us. We also have to slow down and speak very deliberately for Granny to understand us. This gets to be very frustrating at times. I wonder if it's just because she's old or if it has something to do with the disease.
