Mari,
My mother was one of the first people to have a cornea transplant. For years
she could only make out "light and dark". It was to be in Milwaukee at St.
Luke's Hospital and she had to be no more that 15 minutes from the hospital and
always within telephone reach, for weeks. Two days after Christmas that year,
she got "the call". It took several hours at that time (no lazers or
micro-equipment then). And she had bandages over both eyes for a week, in
hospital, with orders not to move her eyes. The bandages came off......after a
few eyelid blinks she could finally see objects again and 38 years later, now
well into her 80's, she still sees the world as she did on that special day. I
am happy for you, truly.

The message forwarded below, was sent through this list last June. I have
always tried to make my pages so that they are geared for everyone to
view....more in the lines of compatibility for all computers. I looked at
the email below at the time it was sent, and thought.....how nice....
Since then my thoughts have changed. On November 19, 2003 I ended up having
to have a cornea transplant in my left
eye. Scared? yes! worried? yes! I have what is a genetic disease of
the cornea, and w/o transplant, I'd go blind.....thank goodness for modern
medicine, and the work of those who saw a possibility, and worked through
the roadblocks till the transplant is perfected as it is today. With my
severe hearing loss, this eye problem hit me hard......and was hard for me
to deal with. I've used my eyes since a child to supplement my hearing
loss.....
That said, I now am pursuing another hobby of mine....reading....through
the State Library for the Blind here in IA. I can receive large print
books, and books on tape for my use free of charge. They have a link on
their site that gives tips for doing web sites so that they are useable for
the visually impaired.
http://www.blind.state.ia.us/access/access-tips.htm
What's my point in all this? Keep ALL viewers in mind when doing your
sites! I never realized how much I could miss by having the text too small
on a web site I was wanting to view. Now I have to have my font set for a
larger one to view most pages.....as many are using too small of a text for
me to read w/o rubbing my nose on the monitor. I'm living proof that the
old adage, "you don't miss it till you lose it"...rings too true!
You never know who you may be helping!! It could even be yourself :)

Hi All,
My county message board just had what I suspect is a spam, but I am not
sure and wonder if others have received the same message.
The message is from "John(a)rootsweb.com
Subject line says 'Help'
the message says 'this site needs traffic to stay up.........and goes
on to give a link'
I refuse to use the link to check the page out, but the message gets
gatewayed to the county mailing list, and I am afraid others will not
hesitate to try the link........
has anyone else had this type of message posted.
I absolutely have not been able to log into the message board as admin,
in order to delete the message.
don't know what else to do
tracy
