Hello Marie. I'm Chrys and Type 1 Diabetic. I'm a motivational speaker

and published author, a full-time student, a home-business operator in LMN

Ministries, have been recovered, by the Grace of God, of cancer 3 times, the

murders of my two sons, the murder of my husband on New Year's eve 1985, rape

and incest 7 times and was a First Response Rescue Team Member in the

Oklahaoma City bombing. I'm a born'again Christian who believes that the

Lord does create miracles. I'm a living one. I shouldn't be able to walk as I

had Polio in 1976, was a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, in the entertainment

business for 20 years and so on. But, by the Saving Grace of our Savior, I

will recover to share my testimony to anyone who wishes joy and peace in

their hearts.

May you have a joyous, loving, peace-filled Christmas and know that it was

because of Him that He came into this world, to save our Souls. He loves you

and will help you if you Let Him.

If I can be of any help to you please contact me either by e-mail or my home

address: Chrys , 1104 Apollo Circle, Edmond, OK 73003.

By the way, Rick and I played a gig in Australia. I hope you got to see us.

You have a beautiful country and I'd love to be friends with you.

I'll be praying for you, my new-found friend.

Hi Charmaine,

Laser is a " piece of cake. " I have had it dont about ten times in the

left eye for diabetic retinaopathy, although not the same problem

that your are facing, I understand that laser is now very helpful for

glaucoma.

If I may suggest for your own piece of mind, question your doctor as

to his abilities, what he knows and does not now and if he can

satisfied your questions, you will feel more comfortable when he

starts with the treatment.

Let us know how you are doing,

in Adelaide, SA.
