myparents neighbours

Postby space_cadet » Sat 12 Sep 2009 11:02 pm

both my parents next door neighbours are doctors and consultants, neither has a specialism for eyes but do for other things, mind is blank as to what at moment though.

Mum took a few photo's from my wedding to show them, and the male neighbour instantly said 'does your daughter have KC?' as her eyes show signs. As you all know my parents don't find my KC anythihng more than 'another thing that you have wrong with you ' and expect me to stop 'asking for attention' I am not sure how it made mum feel being told this by the neighbour other than clearly significant enough to let me know he said it.

is progress slowly being made at last?

top marks to your mum's neighbour as well - quite an achievement to recognise KC from the photos.
Hope the impression on your mum stays positive
