Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
Today I saw the doctors again. They both said everything looks good. Dr. Trese explained that I had had a piece of scar tissue running from the front to the back of my eye and that it was pulling on the retina in the area of the macula, the part of the retina which allows a person to see colors and details. The string was cut, and the retina laid back down immediately.
I was trying to think of a way to explain the concept of low vision. I still get the feeling that Dr. Heidemann thinks I want back more vision than is possible, like I want it all. I finally thought of how to put it into words. My world has been gettingsmaller and smaller, and last week it was almost gone. What I want to know is if my world can be restored. I know very well that my world is not a sighted person's world. I know that, in fact, myperception of the world would be very insignificant to the average person. But it is my world, and when I talk about getting any vision back, I am speaking in reference to my world.
Today I had my eye open a lot. I am very sensitive to light, but I know that there has been a definite improvement. If I had tears to cry, I would cry. Dr. Trese says the improvements maycontinue for several weeks or months. I am so anxious! At the same time, I don't want the time to hurry by. I want to experiencethe joy of each returning sight. I am so thankful that God has allowed me the comfort of seeing again. He could have chosen to give me a different source of comfort and to teach me to trust in Him even when I didn't get what I wanted.
