Mom needs glaucoma or cataracts (forgot which) in order to see. She is really having trouble seeing. Here's the situation:
- Mom is anti-medication, so wouldn't take regular pills to bring her blood pressure down. Non-negotiable, unfortunately.
- She was willing to get the eye surgery, but they won't take her unless the doctors sign off on her being well enough for surgery. I think it was mostly blood pressure/cholesterol, but there was some talk of pre-diabetes I think. I'm pretty sure you can get eye surgery even if you're diabetic/pre-diabetic. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Even if she would take regular medication (she won't) or exercised regularly (she never has, so doubt that would change no with poor vision), it's not like she can go engage in 3 months of cardio and blood pressure medication anyway when she needs to be able to see now.
Is there some sort of liquid one-off medication she could take the day of the eye surgery to get her blood pressure down to where they will let her get her eye surgery? I think the pill form might be particularly off-putting to her, but also having to take anything daily for weeks/month/years is a no go.
tl;dr Mom won't take daily pills, has high blood pressure, needs eye surgery to see. How can we get them to let her go through this procedure so her quality of life can improve?
Thank you!
