Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Starting to Scan
Hi everyone!
I have already informed the being scanned list.
I am starting to scan the following two books:
"Little Black Girl Lost 3" by Keith Lee Johnson
"Through My Eyes: The Story of a Surgeon Who Dared to Take on The Medical
World" by Charles D. Kelman M.D.
The second book in my list here is special to Bruce (my husband) and me,
because the author was our doctor. When Bruce went for cataract surgery
in 1976, Dr. Kelman was the first ophthalmologist who would even consider
performing surgery like this on someone with ROP; the family had sought
several opinions.
When Bruce developed a cataract in his other eye in 1989, he suggested I
go with him to have a thorough eye exam, since I had been told I had
cataracts in the late '70's. I also have ROP.
After our exams, the schedule for surgery was set up for both of us.
Since Dr. Kelman couldn't see behind my cataracts, since they had been
developing for years, he left it entirely up to me as to whether I wanted
to go through with the surgery. I decided to, and am glad I did, because
I got back the best I ever hadd: light, shadow and bright color
perception. Bruce's surgery was successful both times, although, without
lens implants glasses are even more important to see as clearly as he used
to.
This doctor was the best, because he was the one who invented the modern
technique for cataract removal called phacoemulsification.
Now that I'm made this post into a "book", (smile), due to it's length,
I'm finally done.
Debby
