His love is unconditional, even though I do make mistakes but He is always there to love me and embrace me all I have to do is ask. His love is everlasting no matter what I’ve done in the past. Throughout eternity I know Jesus love will last and never fade. Jesus has a loving heart and has proven that to me many times over. He took my place upon the cross so I could be set free. When I keep my eyes upon Him I know I cannot fail as long as my eyes are on Jesus, His love for me will always prevail praise God Amen! He will do the same for you if only you will let Him in. Have a wonderful day my friend God bless Hugs Denise.

So I thought I would tell my story and maybe someone will take heed and learn from it. I want to warn everyone if you have diabetes you need to get it under control. This picture shows the first stage of diabetic retinopathy. I am in stage four called Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR). I see even less than this in one eye than the picture shows. Plus I have macular edema and everything is blurry on top of the black lines and floaters. With my one eye I can see a big blob and make out that it is a house or car and things but I can not see the windows or doors. It is also like seeing in the darkness with the one eye. The macular edema is due to leaking of fluid from blood vessels within the macula. The macula is the central portion of the retina, a small area rich in cones, the specialized nerve endings that detect color and upon which daytime vision depends. As macular edema develops, blurring occurs in the middle or just to the side of the central visual field. Visual loss from diabetic macular edema can progress over a period of months and make it impossible to focus clearly.Macular edema in common in diabetes.

My Doctor had warned me that I was bordering on diabetes but I would not listen. I thought it could not happen to me. So I ate everything and anything I wanted with reckless abandon. As a result I found myself in the hospital with Ketoacidosis my body was already shutting down when I arrived there. I was almost in a coma on the way there. I fell into a coma as soon as I got to the hospital. A while before I went to the hospital I had never been so sick in my whole life. It was not until I thought I had broken a bone in my neck that I agreed to go to the hospital. I do not remember being admidtted. I spent 3 days in the ICU, I did not know where I was or who I was. My family waited not knowing if I would live or die. My blood sugar was 713 and I was told I was lucky to be alive. From that day fourth I had been on a strict diet because I want to live. I do not want to die I want to LIVE

. Back in August I was told by more than 1 Doctor I would be blind in anywhere from 10 months to 2 years at the most. The fear of going blind caused me to go through with treated with the laser eye surgery procedure called scatter laser photocoagulation. It did not help my eyes even though I had many laser burns to each eye. As a result my eyes are dry all the time, they feel like I have sand in them. I lost some of my side vision and a lot of color. I cannot see my favorite color which is blue as brightly now. They said it is the color it most often takes away. It caused me not to be able to cry like a normal person. Instead the tears well up in my eyes but can't roll down my face. It did not stop the bleeding in my eyes and they said more laser was needed.

They wanted to do the pan-retinal photocoagulation. They said each eye would have around 3000 laser burns and I would need it at least twice to each eye. The Dr. said I would not be able to ever drive again. He started talking about running into walls and aids to help you see one line at a time on the page of a book. He offered the laser but vision that would be like looking through paper towel rolls.

I came home and I cried and prayed and cried and prayed some more. I was raised in church my whole life. I told God I would trust Him to heal my eyes for I believe in Miracles. After a few days I told my husband and my family I would not have the laser done. So if you pray and believe in miracles please pray for me. My daughter asked me what I would do if He does not heal me. I told her even if I do not receive my healing I will still trust in Him. He has never let me down, He has never failed me. I am blessed.

My brother Dale who is in the photo had the pan-retinal photocoagulation. As a result he is worse off than I am and he needs prayers too. His sight has been taken from him and he falls all the time. Dale has always been the happiest person in the world. Now with his blindness he is fighting depression. We hold each other and pray and cry together as we trust in God.

If you take time to look for life’s little blessings, you’ll find they’re all along the way even on the rockiest terrain. You are a true blessing to me and I thank the Lord every day that He brought you into my life and made a difference. Love you my friend take care and God bless hugs Denise.
