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)))))
I'll be checking in with HP on a regular basic asking him for a positive outcome. Keep your attitude knowing that HP is in control. Your faith and and trust will prevail.
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...
