Exceptional Eye art by Kenzie Jo, my granddaughter Abrasions by Debi Pick Marquette

To speak of this was not my plan But it leaked out and that is fine Could I use prayers, you bet I can The problem's this right eye of mine So many asked for me to tell First, covid eye was doctors find Then it turned red and it would swell And in two weeks I end up blind And as they say, long story short I scratched the cornea somehow Many infections they'd report I see doc most everyday now Abrasion they can't seem to clear Antibiotics and steroid And while they keep instilling fear Drops every hour he has employed So many ask, how do I write Distracted but I've one good eye In rhyming lines I find delight I just don't want to say goodbye And soon there will be a deadline Perhaps a stem cell replacement Then if it's still not a good sign A cornea transplant event       Recognized Author Notes I have had so many people asking what was wrong with my eye after a post asking for prayers for it. So instead of continuing the same answers over and over I had some say I should post about it. The eye specialist was so afraid I would lose the eye because it was so infected. There was one infection over the other and then the scratch turned into abrasions and they got infected and for weeks they make me come in every day. The doctor even gave me his personal cell phone number to call him on weekends or nights if there were any concerns. A new infection has attacked my eye, so they will postpone plans for the stem cell replacement. A cornea transplant is next in line
