I Can See Clearly Now...
I dedicate today's journal entry to Taylor.
Hi,
I can't actually see clearly now... but maybe soon. It looks like we're going to do the transplant. I have an appointment with a cornea transplant surgeon for Nov 1st. I saw my eye doctor today. He does transplants but not the newest type so he's sending me to this guy who does the DYSEK procedure... I'm grateful that Dr Nelson referred me to Dr Heigel because I had read about this new procedure and its got a lot of advantages from what I read... I won't write the details but if yall are curious just look up cornea transplants...
Needing a cornea transplant has me thinking deeper than I've ever thought before about organ donors... I'm a donor... lots of me is worn out but there's lots of skin... maybe help burn victims or something... I wanted to share a couple of sites that have been brought to my attention recently... I feel such gratitude for these people who can think beyond their own lives... their own pain... Awesome!
Below is a link to a news story about a 13 year old girl who died after a skiing accident... Under that is a link to a site her parents started to promote organ donation and if you have time check Taylor out on youtube... she had a beautiful voice.
