up!
We don't realize how precious some parts of our lives are until ...
I am looking upward for support & stability ... & praying for my eyes.
I have lost 25% of my vision since January via cataracts in both eyes. It is difficult to read/see some days. They will be operated on in Oct. & Nov. This will restore a good portion of my vision, but not all.
They have now diagnosed me with Macular Degeneration in both eyes ... there is nothing they can do except watch the progression, give me special vitamins & I can pray that I don't loose my vision which is usually the net outcome in time. I am mentally storing God's beautiful world away, should that day come.
Soooo, I post when my eyes are not too blurry, I read when my eyes are not too worn out.
Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your eye troubles. You are spot on about not realizing how precious life is. More often than not, it is only when we are faced with some type of bad news that we become well aware that LIFE is precious, and every second counts. All God's Best, Kerrie
Marydon, I am so sorry to hear this. My Mother went through the same thing. I will pray for you my Dear Friend.
ReplyDeleteI hope that is a long time away! I would miss your posts and your thoughtful comments! What would I do without my dose of Marydon?! I will keep you more in my prayers sweet lady. Here is hoping that everything goes great with your surgery! Much love to you!
ReplyDeleteOh Marydon, I am so sorry you are going through this... praying that your upcoming surgeries are a success for you! :):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteOh Marydon, I am so sorry to hear that. I know all will be better after the surgery and the macular progression will be slow. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh Marydon, I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope the surgery will help restore your vision. Take care!
ReplyDeleteMy Dear Marydon...so sorry to hear of your troubles with your sight. I have several friends and relatives who have had cataract surgery and all have been so glad they had it done, their sight was so improved. I will be praying the md progression is slow.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you.
Bless you Marydon - the cataract surgery will help a great deal, so please be hopeful!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline♥
Keep knocking, keep asking, keep singing! Lord, I pray for healing and restoration of vision!
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon
ReplyDeleteTake care of your eyes and do what they tell you to do...*hugs*
I'm sorry about that. You are in my thoughts and it will be good to have the cataracts removed this fall.
Have a lovely day...and weekend.

ReplyDeleteMy Mom is going through all of that...
I'm sending you ALL of my love and my prayers are being hurled up tagged with your name on 'em.
Your heart is so big and beautiful - it will soak up all things... and share them all when you most need them.
Again - you are in my prayers and I'm sending you some Texas love.

Oh, Marydon, I'm so sorry to hear that. I pray that the upcoming surgery will be successful and that the progression of the macular degeneration will slow WAY down...or, better yet, cease completely.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs,
Patti
Oh, Marydon! I'm so sorry to hear about your eyes. You're so right - life is precious and we need not take it for granted. I want you to know you will be in my prayers and your surgeries will be successful and your healing will be swift!
ReplyDeleteLove you,
shelia ;)
Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI will pray for you. My Mom is also going through this too. God will help it to turn out okay.
Blessings & Hugs,
Sherry
So very sorry to hear this Marydon. We don't realize how precious something is until it's gone. We went through this very thing with my dad. I will be praying that God lays his healing hands upon you.. Blessings, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh, Marydon, I am so sorry. The eyes are so important and I pray that with proper care yours will last a lifetime. God bless.

Sorry to hear about your vision problems. Two of my friends have moms that get injections once a month for macular degeneration. One of them it is helping her a lot, the other, started way too late, when she was 95! xo,
ReplyDeleteOh my friend, I pray that the surgery helps a WHOLE Bunch and that God will keep your eyes SEEING ALL of the beauty around you! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI am praying that surgery has good outcomes for you. We do them all the time at the hospital I work at and the vision restoration is nothing short of a miracle.
ReplyDeleteAnd while there is no "cure" for macular degeneration they are making so much progress in treating it that, hopefully, they will be able to stop it in its tracks soon.
God bless you--I am so sorry that you have to go through this...as my father used to say...aging isn't for sissies! And..ain't THAT the truth? xo Diana
Marydon! I am so sorry for your vision problems!! I have not been dx yet macular degeneration. But I do have cataracts! The optometrist said in about a year I would have to have surgery. But I can tell they are getting worse on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI'M SO SORRY This certainly give us all pause for thought. I'm praying for you
ReplyDeleteOh, Marydon...
ReplyDeleteI will PRAY for healing for your eyes, that they won't get worse.
Warmly,
deb
Oh Marydon, I'm so sorry to heare about your eyes. In the past 2 days I have received so much bad health news from the people I hold dear. My Dr even gave me some...what's going on?
ReplyDeleteI pray the Drs are able to stave off this horrid disease for along time for you. Wishing you all the best for the cataract surgeries.They are done so frequently now I hear it's a peice of cake..yeh until you have to go thru it yourself ;)
Have a great weekend and enjoy the sights.
*hugs*deb xoxoxo
Marydon, I will pray that your surgery will go well, and that God will heal your eyes for you. Your attitude is a blessing to me, just so you know......

Good Luck to you on this. Not an easy thing to have to deal with.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that the surgery will help. Which I am sure it will. Ken has had this already.
Looking to so the other eye soon.
Blessings and prayers for youat this tough time.!
Melinda
Oh Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your vision. Eye sight is a precious gift, and I am going to pray right now for my dear friend, and I am sending love your way.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. I'm sorry for this diagnosis. I hope the surgery will help.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad when I read that you and Sherry are both struggling with physical ailments. You both are such lovely women with such wonderful hearts. I will be praying for you both. {{hugs}}
It will help your vision when those darn cataracts are removed. Hoping your case of MD is a very slow progressing type and that you keep your vision for many years to come. Take care sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this. I am sure the good lord will give you the strength to make this day through.
ReplyDeleteYou take care.
Nancy
Marydon, I am so sorry to hear about your eye troubles. I pray that you will beat the odds and maintain good vision.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I should have said that! Pray to God that you beat the Odds! It is good that God has a sense of humor. He has to!
Hugs, Ginger
Oh I am so very sorry my dear friend! I have had so many problems with my eyes, but I do what i can and Pray. Putting it in God's hands has help me more than I can say. Take good care, both of you. Love You!
ReplyDeleteI will keep you in my prayers,, this subject is very cloese to me, be well,
ReplyDeleteOh, poop I never take my sight for granted, I would rather loose my hearing an arm or a leg. Don't you think in this day an age that they could cure MD, I know they have come a long ways on treating it. We are going to be optimistic that it is very, very, slow and more treatment options become available. in the mean time you will get a huge boost with the cataract removal! Keep us posted we all care!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Hello Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your eyes, yes we must not take anything for granted!! Aging is just not fun.
Please keep us updated
My friend, you will be in my thoughts and I pray the surgery will be helpful and wish you a speedy recovery.
(((Hugs)))
Suzann ~xoxo~
So sorry to hear about your eyes. Life is indeed a precious and will be thinking of you Hugs elaine
ReplyDeleteWet mac or Dry mac? Can't do much with dry but with wet you can get shots every month or so. Hubby has maintained vision with wet mac for a couple years now. His reading is deteriorating but otherwise is good.
ReplyDeleteI know God has His hand on you.
ReplyDeleteHe sees the smallest sparrow fall, and I know He cares for you...
Praying He will give sight to you.
Susan
Oh MD I am so sorry to hear that. Many prayers will b coming your way. Luv u

Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI left a comment here the other day, but I just looked and it's not here. I told you that I am going through the same thing. I have macular degeneration in the early stages. My Mom went through the same disease.I'm hoping that mine isn't as bad as hers was. I'm taking the vitamins too. Maybe we can keep in touch and sort of "compare notes" about our progress. I love to do artwork, needlework, reading, TV and everything else that uses my eyes. I'll keep you in my prayers that your surgery is successful.Balisha
Oh Marydon, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Marydon, you are so in my thoughts and prayers sweet friend. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Oh Marydon...you are in my thoughts and prayers, Dave has M.D. and he takes Luteine...I think that's how it's spelled.
ReplyDeleteMy sweet friend I hate to hear this. I have often sturggled with my poor vision and my doctor reminds me that I too, could lose my vision. I truly love you and your dear heart. You must store all those memories. As a child, my grandmother who was my BFF lost her vision when I was 7. I often close my eyes and wonder how in the world she did what she did to continue to live a full and productive life. My friend, I found the answr, it is the Lord Himself. I love you dearly please keep me posted. Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are being said for you. I can only imagine how scary this is for you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI hate to hear about your eyes Marydon. I will keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLife is so unfair sometimes. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this Marydon. You would think they would have found a way to cure this or prevent it from happening by now, I'll sat a prayer for you that surgery goes well and you are able to keep your sight for a long time to come.
ReplyDeleteI know I stopped by before but I had to comment again! I just listened to a beautiful progrma on the Christian radio. A gentleman described life with his two daghters, one with hearing one who was deaf. His story was o touchin but beautiful. We realy need to thank God for all the blessings He bestows on us particularly our senses. I love you dear friend. You are like a beautiful gem that I never will tire of hearing your stories and seeing your beautiful family and treasures here. You are so loved. Anne
