Es Vetzach Oispressen
Every morning for the next eight days of Hannukah I’m going to bring you one of the many instructive, sometimes funny and always calming Yiddish sayings my MIL Ada has peppered her language with over the years. A short vignette each day to share with your morning coffee. Enjoy!
Es Vetzach Oispressen Is one I’ve been hearing alot lately. It means “It will all iron out.” ie I tell her my worries, she does her best to listen and give me some advice, and then she’ll tell me it will all be ironed out like I used to iron my brother’s shirts. A little steam and voila!
Today I have an appointment with a retina specialist. It seems one retina is “wrinkled,” which explains the loss of vision in that eye. My “epi retinal membrane” may need surgery. But I’d prefer to think it will iron itself out without the help of a scalpel, or a laser, if you know what I mean.
The good news – no cataracts – for “someone my age” the first eye doctor told me. Yippee! This was me, wearing pink, going to a Planned Parenthood rally this past weekend. Wondering why I still have to march on the street across from people carrying lurid baby killer signs for my fundamental human rights. Will this press out too?

If you need that surgery…been there done that….it’s very minor. Less bother than cataract surgery. You’re very lucky to have a retina specialist in the family. ME! 🙂
Let’s talk Anita!!
Hope all works out.. .love those Yiddish expressions. Some are so hard to translate and sometimes it seems one family has one meaning and another family something totally different. As to PP, where to begin with what’s going on in this country. Happy Hannukah. Maybe some light will be shed.
Thanks Lisa! I’ve got prednisone drops and and an unbridled optimism. What else do we need?
