What started on Easter Sunday came full circle yesterday in surgery and recovery. Easter Sunday afternoon I started seeing a black curtain in my lower vision. Based on a detached retina in the right eye three years ago, I knew the left eye had detached, so that Sunday evening we were at the specialist office and Monday morning the doctor performed laser surgery to reattach the retina plus repair five tears. As with any retina surgery you quickly develop a cataract from the trauma of surgery.
When it came time for a new lens surgery for the eye to replace the cataract, the doctor noted that I had good close vision in the right eye but difficulty with the far vision. So he said he would give me a lens for far vision.
My first thought was that I would then have glasses so I could see evenly. What surprised me was the doctor telling me that the brain will adjust so you can see far away and close up without glasses.
Yesterday they took the packing off the left eye and I could see. At first I had to close my left eye to see up close but by last night, I could see up close and far away with no distortion and eyes wide open.
God has created a way for you to compensate to things that go wrong with our bodies. God made us perfect, but we abuse our bodies on a daily basis. Therefore God repairs the pieces of our body and our brain readjusts so we can be somewhat normal. God's design for cell regeneration
I know that the man made lens may flatten over time and I will may need glasses again, but I had to marvel this morning as I looked at the mountains in the distance and could see them so well and still see the readings on my dashboard.
God really is an awesome God in what He has created in you! Know that you are special and the Creator of the Universe is passionately in love with YOU! All the way down to cranial readjustments.
Psalm 139:14
