I can see, I can see, I can see

A few days ago I wrote that I was having trouble seeing. Last Tuesday night I asked Nate and Vallen to give me a blessing. Nate anointed me and Vallen Sealed the anointing and gave me a blessing.

Before the blessing I told of the struggles I was having that I was really having a hard time seeing and that I wanted to continue to work in the name extraction program but that because of my eyesight I didn’t think I was going to be able to continue. In this blessing Vallen said many things and not all are going to be repeated as they are not of value to this blog (I cherish each word that was said though) Vallen said at the beginning that they hoped the desires of my heart would be fulfilled.and I thought , What good is this, then toward the end Vallen said we bless you that the desires of your heart will be fulfilled. (Using the priesthood of our Father in Heaven)


The next morning I got up to test my blood and to take my shot and for the first time for over a week I was able to see the syringe needle as it went into the insulin bottle and I didn’t need to call Diana to check the amount of insulin I had drawn as I could see the markings as I drew the insulin out. I am also able to read the computer screen without the magnifier within Accessibility of Accessories. But because of the struggle I went through during the previous week I had learned to use this magnifier and am now able to help myself along during the name extraction work.


It is amazing the power of the priesthood and I am quite surprised that everyone is not desirous to have this power in their lives.

Got my eye on you

I am writing by touch mostly today as last


On Monday I put my sunglasses in my eye instead of on my face and over the eyes. This causes me to cut a fairly large area of the cornea, well I 5hought I would give it a day and it would stop hurting but Wednesday morning I called and made a same day appointment to go and find out what happened. They made me see an eye doctor and she must have been new as she cut some more of the cornea, to smooth it out the area. Ten she put a clear contact on my eye as a band aid. Well, she put some kind of drop in my eye that made it feel well the entire time that she was working on it and for about an hour afterward. She let me go with just some antibiotic eye drops and made an appointment for Thursday. Funny part about this visit is that she put the numbing drops in my eye and said if you feel anything lrt me know so I told her a while later that I felt something on my lashes and she laughed and said that was ok but to let her know if I felt anything on the eye.

Thursday I went back to see a different doctor and she was also young., I guess they just wanted a lot of new doctors to practice on me. She just looked, took out the contact and put in a new one, then gave me some dilating drops to put in twice a dayand had me make an appointment for Friday. Funny thing here is that when I made the appointment they told me the only appointment they had open for this third doctor would be at 1:00 PM. That was fine so I called Kristy and asked her for a ride on Fridy she said that was fine andwhen I got home I had a message on the message machine saying the doctor would like to see me earlier at 10:00 or 11:30 Am or st 12:30 PM I thought this to be funny as the receptionist had told me that the only available appointment was at 1:00 PM. So I called Kristy back and changed the time to 10:00 AM which is the appointment I had chosen.

Friday when I went back the doctor was still young but he looked and acted as if he had been a doctor for a few years. He looked in my eye and said that the area had filled in and that it should get well in a few days, he took out the bandaid and told me he wasn’t going to replace it as I wouldn’t be able to come back in on the weekend. He told me to only take the dilating drops for the next two nights but too continue the antibiotic drops for about five daysand asked me to come back to see HIM in about a week so I made an appointment for Thursday July 5th at 3:30 PM.

And I am exhausted. Hope to see some of youse guys in the next couple days.
