[Nfb-krafters-korner] two things--for Dianne and Joyce

Thu Feb 3 15:56:47 UTC 2011

Hi Di;
I sure wish you well.  Our prayers are with you.  I have an adopted sister that lost one eye from a detatched retna and glacolma.  I still can not get her to learn braille and she works for the school system and she could use it towards her teaching ability.

Terry P.

Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for caring!  I know we have an incredible group of caring individuals here!
Saw the dr. yesterday for my 1 mo. follow up, and it seems as though he put in a lense that "HE THOUGHT" would help my eyesight with my left eye, the only eye I can barely see out of.  He tried several different magnifications yesterday with no success and then suggested to my Mom we get a pair of strong reading glasses.  Well, it's better than it was, at least I can read the time on my huge watch!
I'll see him again on the 14th to have some  more scans done as he thinks the retina is swollen.
Thanks for caring!!!
Di
