Amazing Grace was my mother’s favorite song…so it holds a special place in my heart. You’ve been touched by the Amazing Grace of God. I can’t imagine the wonderful work you will create, now that you can really see.

AJ, that is wonderful news. What a precious gift our sight is! As the wife of a husband who is losing his vision from retinitis pigmentosa, I see what a terrorizing, frustrating, scary thing that blindness can be. He is 43 and can no longer do the things he loves.
The Bible verse about walking by faith, not by sight has been a verse to cling to during this process. It is my prayer that God will bring about a cure or healing for my husband too. I read the accounts of Jesus healing the blind and am so thankful for those being included in the Bible. Rejoice in His goodness and his gift of sight! I am rejoicing with you.

Dear AJ,
I am so happy for you and your renewed sight! I will be praying that the 2nd surgery is just as much a success as the first.
My 75 year old mother had this same surgery in the fall of 2007 and she had worn thick glasses that looked like coke bottle bottoms since she was just a child. She still has to wear glasses but they are normal looking, no thick lenses now. They not only corrected the cateracts but also her other problems with vision. Now that I am getting older and have to use reading glasses myself, she can read the fine print for me which she couldn’t do before! It is amazing! Like you said the hardest part is the transition between the two surgeries. At least that is how it was for my mother.
Hugs!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was told in the fall that I had the beginnings of cataracks. I went to my naturopath because she has helped me with Menier’s disease and she had me do a regemin of various eye drops. I don’t know if it is helping or not yet. The one thing I do know is that I finally got all the prednisone out of my body last fall after being off of it for a year and a half. Every time I went to the ear nose & throat Dr. he put me on prednisone until I finally refused and went with my naturopath full time for it. I am 58. I dropped 15 last fall because the prednisone was finally gone and would let my body stop bloating!!! Thank you. Kathy

AJ, I’m so glad everything is working out just fine for you. Someone surely was watching over you…Thank God and all those Angels from above for doing so. Also, I would like to thank you for sharing the information it will be helpful since my husband and I both wear glasses. Ones eyes are truly a blessing and to be without would be a great loss. For everyone needs to treasure their sight and thank the lord for being so blessed. Take care.

AJ, I am so glad to hear that you will be ‘good as new’. Especially for you in your line of work, your being able to see clearly and distinguish colors is vital. Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow. This is absolutely wonderful news. Thank you for sharing.
