THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Funny how vision works:  I can now see cobwebs and dust bunnies, but my close up vision will have to wait until everything is done and I get reading glasses.  My depth perception is a little off kilter.  I go to reach for a doorknob and miss it by an inch.  I guess that's why the Dr. told me not to back park.  Going forward is OK.

Everything looks different when looking with the left eye.  White is actually white.  Looking with my right eye; everything has a yellowish tint.  It is insidious how slowly eye problems can sneak up on you; so slowly the you really don't notice the difference. 

It was my Doctor how first discovered that I was having hemorrhages in my right eye.  He sent me to a specialist who did laser surgery on the left eye.  A year later it was leaking again and the laser surgery was repeated.  The the pressure started going up, up and up, and couldn't be controlled with eye drops.  Thus, a stint was placed in the left eye.  I believe the Dr. plans to do the same procedure in the right eye 'though the pressure isn't as great.  Isn't modern medicine miraculous?  That is why I say the we are co-creators with God.  God made us and gave us the gift of life, and the ability to take our talents for His, and our greater good.

I slept a lot for a few days.  I guess because of the anesthesia they gave me to help me "relax."  I don't do well with drugs or medicines.  Even Tylenol will make me have crazy dreams.  I stick with good old fashioned Aspirin.  It works and like milk, "It does a body good."

There isn't much to write about as I am staying close to home and hearth.  I did drive to church/mass yesterday...very carefully.
