I also am a patient of Dr. Minturn and have been for some time. I've had retina detachment and some other problems with the macula, had the photo dynamic therapy in 2002 and on and on and on. He is a wonderful doctor and I credit him with saving my vision in the left eye although right now it's battling glaucoma and so I am dealing with that. I just wanted to say your blog entry really encouraged me as I too give God all the praise and all the glory for giving us wonderful doctors. I pray you continue to improve and that your vision is restored. I came across your blog by accident while surfing

I've been thinking a lot about blindness lately. There is much in my life I do not understand (and may never). In these areas I am truly blind. But do I let my blindness poison *everything*? Does a blind man make his daughter's wedding day a bitter moment because he is denied the vision of her in her gown? Or could he have accepted his blindness years earlier? Not calling it "good", but accepting that it is a part of his life, limitting it's damage to vision alone. Can I live this day, appreciating the beauty and grace and peace while acknowledging my blindness? (PS: I love the Isaiah 42 reference.) YEAH! You’re back.
