You always have a smile on your face and are always on the go- you are a magical person and I am glad to know that the odds favor decent vision for your future. I too have had a few years of eye aggravation and yet have been surprised at how well my hands seem to "see" and remember how to thread a needle. I have now had 2 operations and after the eyes settle down, I will get new glasses and be able to see well again. I too, am grateful for my vision and for all the beautiful quilts I have been lucky to see in my life. <br />Good Luck, Jean Williams<br />sewhope50@yahoo.comNCGrammyJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292613867634341235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1944898019718320502015-06-25T18:50:35.904-04:002015-06-25T18:50:35.904-04:00That's a good report, Bonnie!That's a good report, Bonnie!Angeliasuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464357240334296592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-34784539135958581002015-06-25T07:09:17.295-04:002015-06-25T07:09:17.295-04:00So glad you are a 2- and thanks for letting us kno...So glad you are a 2- and thanks for letting us know- as you are aware how much we are praying for your wonderful vision in the quilt world!

I have much to say but suspect you've been media bombed with everyone else saying it.<br />You know what struck me this morning (or was it yesterday already) when reading the linked info, was Susan Komen's sister. Breast cancer was just one more thing no one talked about until her sister took up the fight.<br /><br />You are in a unique place in your life to also take up a cause, if you cared to.

I hope that is a little relief. Word of warning - I had the same reaction to the dye injection - if there was iodine in there it is possible that you reacted to the iodine rather than the dye - be very wary of eating seafood until you are absolutely sure you are not now allergic to shellfish. I had always been a glutton for shellfish until I had the injection - now can't touch it. Also I was warned never to have the injection again because the second reaction will be more severe and is known to kill. Sorry to be the harbinger of gloom - I just wish someone had told me rather than me having to find out the hard way.<br /><br />Back to happier things - thank you for being such an inspiration!

If you have an IPhone you can put all this right there so any EMT or medical anyone can see your background<br /><br />Now to my version of Bonnie Hunter. We had met on Internet and you lived in another state, another work identity Snd you were a quilter. You started do limited speaking engagements which consisted of a trunk show of your quilts.....and how scraps were the magic to enlivening a quilt. Radical. I finally got to see you at Brownsyine Quilters and my guild Garden State Quilters listened to reason and brought you in.<br /><br />My version of Bonnie Hunter is someone who I still admire for her zest for life and quilting. Now I need to get an infusion of your nonstop quilting ethnic. A quilt grabs you and you don't just go along for the ride you change the directions. Eyes.....viewing aid to the world....hahaha never get those expressions right. I think a Third Eye quilt is next on the design wall....with all those itty bitty scraps saying "use me too". My fabric talks to me as well.

Then see about getting a Medic Alert tag, or at least keeping this allergy info with you somehow at all times.

First person to ever have a reaction during a bone scan at one hosp. -- that's the kind of history you don't need to make! So leery of anything injected now...
