Happy New Year - may the Lord bless you in it!
Amazing scenery in your photographs.
Thanks for the compliment on the photos... of course I must really credit God for His great artistry! I got really busy... family needed things. And I got sick with a bad flu, which caused my OTHER eye to blow out with this Adie's pupil nonsense. The first one has shown some slight healing, but still not truly responsive to light. The second one is hugely dilated when I don't use my eyedrops. Alas... I'm being given my own cross to bear, I suppose, to see what I learn. And my own reminder that this life is not forever.
Sorry about this; any progress?
You will be blessed in taking it from the Lord!
Thanks so much. The right eye is slightly smaller, healing a little with just a slight bit more responsiveness to light. Not a lot... have to be in a bright light for over a minute to see it change.
The left one is still super big without drops... and practically no response to even bright lights.
But the right one is more than would be expected, at least. Just have to be brave.
