<P class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Come to think of it, I remember hearing on the news years ago
about someone who was blind who had a few upper teeth extracted, and then could
see. Evidently the roots of the teeth went up into wherever it was that
governs sight???<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I do know a lady who was living in Colorado Springs when I
was a girl there, who got most of her sight back one night when her husband was
thrashing in his sleep, rolled over and hit her in the head in his
sleep.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The next morning, she did wake up with a great deal of her
sight back.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I never knew whather eye condition was to begin with, but she
had attended the Colorado D&B school, and was an adult
when I was a little girl. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I have heard of blind people being healed but I’ve never met
any. I don’t know if the “healing” lasts only as long as the “revival
service”--healing meeting, or if it is permanent. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve heard of people getting much vision back after thick
cataracts have been removed or other surgeries have been successfully performed.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’ve heard much more often (and know some blind people) who
have surgery after surgery as they slowly or quickly go blinder and blinder.
They’re constantly hoping that one surgery will bring them enough sight to read
print again or to become nonblind and drive a car. They have such a hard time
coming to terms with being permanently blind, believing, as long as they
continue having multiple surgeries, (as the ophthalmologist earns tons more
money), that sometime everything will be okay. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There was a kid at the school for the blind who was blind in
one eye and had surgery on the other, who ended up being (someone else’s) cab
driver.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There was another person I knew of who attended his
first NFB convention, using a cane, listening for which corner the bar was
in and learning his way over there too well. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Later that evening, he laid his cane down, insisting he could
find the bar without it as he yelled out “I can see! I can see!”<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Others in the room urged him not to find the bar again that
night. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We quite often hear about someone “going blind”, however, we
never hear that a blind guy has “gone sighted.” <o:p></o:p></P>

Background first- I have been blind for 57 years, and during all that time I’ve
never met nor hear of some one who was… cured of their blindness, via fate of a

no disrespect to anyone. Has it happened in our lifetime? Is there anything
