Can you imagine not being able to see the bright colours clearly on these lovely plants or to be able to read a book. If you imagine a veil covering the photos then that is how my sight has been recently. I have had to use a magnifier on my head to see to do any of the everyday things like reading my phone messages and reading my mail. Checking out the groceries for place of origin was impossible.
Now though, I have undergone laser surgery to both my eyes, and these colours are now as clear as crystal again and the print is shape and black. It is wonderful. We do not appreciate just how important our sight is until we begin to lose it.
Now I am back to normal.....and it is such a long time since it was...I am anxious to get back to my embroideries. I just hope I dont find so many mistakes that all my time is taken up in reverse sewing.
I am actually posting this without my glasses!!!!!
Off to read some more of my book.
Shirley how thrilled I was to read the laser surgery has been such a success, you have been in my thoughts and prayers whilst you were waiting for the surgery. There will be no stopping you now, one drawback you will be able to see the dust!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Shirley. Lovely post and what colors! It seems to be true for the human condition that we only truly appreciate what we have when we don't have it anymore...such is life.

ReplyDeleteDear Shirley, this made me happy when I first read it. Now I have vision problems myself, and fight with my stitching, so I am all the more happy for you. Luckily it is something curable in my case, so all I need ist patience. But this is sometimes hard.
