My aunt Jean developed diabetes (juvenile onset) in the early 1940's.
Not much was known about the treatment of the disease at the time.
Insulin shots weren't widely understood. Diabetes rendered her legally
blind (she could make out shapes, that's about it) when she was still a
very young woman. Ah, but she was amazing. Despite her disability she
knew her way around the kitchen! She was a marvelous cook. She also
did ceramics and was a wiz at refinishing furniture.

Years went by. She'd had to have surgery for cataracts. The last time
she pretty much told her doctor it was stupid to keep cutting on her
eyes; she still couldn't see so what was the point? He said ah, but you
don't understand! There's this new procedure that involves lasers...

I'll never forget the day she called me up and exclaimed, "Jill! I can
SEE!" OMG. Can you imagine being able to see again after
forty-something years?! She said, "Your uncle Howard lied to me. He
always told me I was beautiful!" LOL

Sadly, she was only able to enjoy the gift of sight for a short time.
She died of a heart attack six months later.

Jill
