Thanks for your kind words.

I tend to believe that everything happens for some reason. When I experienced those events, I never really considered it a bad thing, and that sort of amazed me. I met a lot of caring people, nurses, doctors, and other health care employees. I was able to establish closer relationships with family members.

After the eye surgery, I saw things differently. The outer world with the damaged eye looked different. More importantly, the inner world of myself looked different. As my outer vision degraded, my inner vision improved.

It was hard, but in the end I think it was worth it.
