Faith and Trust...



Okay I got one!!...In 2 and ahalf hours I'll be sitting in the chair of a noted eye
surgeon here in Hilo.  We will be checking to see what we can do with my good eye.
I have one good eye and with exceptions most of you have better, I assume.  My
other eye, (left) got damaged a year ago and I cannot use it and look  bad with an
eye patch which makes the problem worse but not because of my looks.  It blocks
out all light so when I take it off I get an explosion of light that hurts. 

I know how to trust and my faith tells me that what ever happens to me physically
on a spiritual level I'll be normal.   I've trust the professionals before and some of
the times it worked out as expected while on other times not so much with wierd
learning experiences; like even the pros are human and make mistakes?  Faith
has to be expansive here because if I do what is usually indicated I will totally
blind for several days and must be lead by another person or thing in order to
get even my simplest needs met. 

My mindset is that it is temporary and will pass until someone on the other side
of the committee table calls out something else that's  derogatory. 

My Higher Power has afforded me some real miracles in situations like this so
my Higher Power isn't in question but in the room with me.  I'm grateful that
my HP will also be in the examination room with me and if the decision is to do
the surgery will be there also.

I will be taking as much MIP ESH with me for focus as I can.  Thanks for always
being here with me.    (((((hugs))))) smile

Just read this! I am keeping you in my prayers. You are very brave!

Ok when you are not in pain...put on that patch and have some fun with  your wife with some pirate fantasies!

Soak in allowing everyone to help you. I hope you have a sense of humor. I would love to be there to tease ya and  help ya get thru this!

You are going to be given a chance to know life with a whole different perspective. It will only make ya grow!

Wow really taste food, smell that air there. Listen.

You do what your doc tells ya to. You seem so giving, so think about how that makes you feel, when you give and help. NOw allow others the pleasure.

Your attitude is what I know will get you thru.

I have many times, I know its weird, have pretended I could not see and took care of my animals. I wanted to practice in case I was ever blind.

I am not good at people doing for me as you know. I know I would be running around with different colored socks and earrings that did not match.

so don't worry we will love you even though you have on your wifes orange pedal pushers and pink shirt on and her pink  flip flop and your blue one.

hugs,debilyn

Jerry, you "see" better than most of us, regardless of how many good eyes you have..... Here's hoping it all goes well, but you'll still be 100% you, no matter what happens, and your MIP family will still be here with and for you....

Mahalo...
