AZEZ, I am so sorry to hear about that. I know as a parent, it must be gut wrenching. And truly unfair that $$$ is what is stopping her from getting done what she needs done. TOH and I send positive vibes to you, and healing vibes to your daughter.

so sorry to hear that azez, get in touch with your local Lions Club, they should be able to help you & steer you in the right direction.

I found an office of optamologists
They say her right eye has a detached retina and too much damage
They are trying to clear her for surgery to try and save her left eye
Please send your prayers for her
This awesome group of doctors are doing their part pro bono

again azez, the Lions Club, did you know their motto is 'Sight First?' call your local chapter and explain your situation. They'll put your case to a vote @ the next meeting & I've never seen them turn anyone away.

don't be shy, asking's for free.......

I contacted them and they could do nothing
If she needed glasses they could
But not with this type of care

I'm surprised bro, even up here in the country (I used to be a member) we'd dig deep to help locals w/expenses. Bought seeing eye dogs @9K apiece for two women here as well.

I'll pray for you both that help finds its way.

Great news man. I am a long time diabetic and this stuff scares me. Fortunately I've had good control, which I attribute partly to the cannabis and partly to my own diligence. Still, I have neuropathy and the eye thing really fucking scares me. I'm glad she's doing better.

One other suggestion for help: Your local Masonic Lodge. Often very charitable.

What's her blood type and what foods is she eating? Seriously.

Look into choosing her foods by her blood type and maxxing out any diabetes superbeneficial foods that are listed for her. Here's the most updated and accurate list I'm aware of.

Remove the foods that her immune system is attacking and it has more time for healing and working properly. I've watched significant improvements in diabetics in shockingly short times... just by switching foods. None of the diets being pushed for 'diabetics' have been effective for the people I've spoken with and most were contradictory to choosing your foods by blood type. Ouch.

Holy Anointing Oil without the cinnamon can be used around the eyes and near mucus membranes and will significantly speed up healing in surrounding areas. Used with the cinnamon the stuff will heal diabetic sores as well... even when all the Rx stuff fails.

Here's to the future! :D

Keep it Clean! :D
