When I had trouble reaching the MVD by phone Tuesday I went to their website and asked what to do about the title and registration. They hadn’t answered by Wednesday afternoon, so that’s when I tried phoning again. This morning I received this email:
I show that both names are listed on the title and registration with an or between the names. Not sure on the paperwork you received with just your name. Our system is correct, so you may get additional paperwork in the mail.
Thank you.
So the change has been made correctly, we just have to wait to receive our copy of the paper work. On the whole we’ve been impressed by the MVD, and we don’t take that for granted. In this day and age we’re grateful every time a system works well and when people are friendly and helpful.
Okay, so about Andy’s eyes. Several years ago a routine exam showed wet macular degeneration in both eyes, so we started the trips to Santa Fe for shots to keep it from getting worse. Santa Fe is a little less than an hour away, and the visits usually take about two hours, most of it spent waiting. Occasionally it will stretch to three hours, and very rarely he will be out in an hour. Wednesday it was a three-hour one, and they were scheduled to treat his right eye but decided the left one needed more attention so they treated that one and rescheduled the right eye for March 20.
So, how many trips do we make? In the beginning we were going twice a month, once for each eye. We can’t remember when that started, but gradually they extended the time between treatments so we were going three times a year for each eye. We had appointments March and April, July and August, and November and December. Now we’re guessing we can keep going every four months for the right eye but may need to go every two months for the left one. We are not complaining. We’re grateful that they have been saving his eyesight. And we’re grateful for calendars to keep everything straight for us.
(That said, we’re hoping we don’t have too many three-hour visits. I’m still working on my patience for those!)
