A Message to My Readers

I have been going through a series of issues this past month of September and into October which have been keeping me very busy.  First, my laptop was stolen when my apartment unit was broken into while I was in the kitchen speaking on the phone with my son. A week later I discovered my identity had been stolen and my online banking had money taken out of it.  The person(s) who stole my laptop also used my emails and were attempting to get into other places I had shopped. They changed passwords, I guess by saying they forgot their password, and because they had my laptop and my email, they were able to have the temporary password sent to my email address.  I didn't realize this until I was able to get another laptop.  I have been changing my old passwords, re-encrypting my wireless, putting on a much stronger password, and beefing up security by not just using antivirus software, but going to Anti-virus with security against hackers and such.  It had been frustrating as every time I changed the password I would still have trouble getting into my accounts, even my email.  I think they are finally OK now.

I just had eye surgery for cataracts and by the third day after, I could see so much better.  I could read a book, the calendar, my mail, and even the computer without glasses!  I was ecstatic.  That was the third day after surgery. The morning of the fourth day I awoke to a different vision.  I could not read anything, book, or computer without enlarging the print. Now, I am also getting a shadow printout of every word I type.  Even my eyeglasses don't help anymore because of the change.  I don't know why this has happened, except maybe I overused my eyes on the computer while tracking the person who kept changing things and trying to set up better security.  Maybe this is normal to have a change. I don't know. I do know that it isn't as bad as it was.  There is still some change and I am very grateful for that.  Once I am able to get new glasses I should be able to see even better.  I also have Macular Degeneration so that might be partly responsible too.

I am going to ask my readers to please be patient with me not getting posts on for awhile as I still have another eye to go. My other eye is going to be more complicated because of a birth defect, and if there are complications, the eye doctor said he would send me to a university hospital in London, Ontario to have it redone.  I would appreciate prayers that there will be no complications and that my eyesight is restored.  It will be the end of October to mid-November before my eyes will be healed and I am able to get new eyeglasses for distance, and possibly for computer and other reading.

In the meantime, I hope you will look over other posts that are on my blog site and still gather information you may have missed, overlooked, or just read part of in the past.  I am looking forward to getting back as soon as possible to regular posts.  There is also a "search" bar on my blog where you can search for key words or phrases and it will pull up all those words or phrases that are in any of the 77 blog posts that are already on the blog site.  It is just to the right of the post.

I will try to work on some blog posts so I can get some out earlier, but don’t want to promise they will be out at a particular date before I am finished up with the cataract surgery and healing.  As soon as I am able, I will post when I will be starting back on a regular basis. Maybe I can do a shorter post for a time until I am finished with the cataract surgery, healing, and get new glasses.  I will do my best.

Thank you all, for your patience…

I will be back as quickly as I can as I also miss doing the blog posts.

I know that God uses all the tests and trials we go through to build up our faith as well as our character, and even our relationship with Him. It is through the tough times that we learn our greatest lessons, call out to Him from the depth of our heart, are more attentive to Him, and have more practice praying for our enemy to come to know Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord. It is also during the times of testing that we recognize our weak areas which need to be strengthened or changed.

Thank you for your patience.

Grace, mercy, and peace to every person who reads my blog.
