Ten years ago I almost lost my sight due to detached retinas. I had 2, one in each eye. With the help of some truly miraculous Drs. I have overcome this with vision as good as when I was a teenager. So, when I was facing some dark hours, I kept my faith, took appropriate action, and am here to testify to the faith of healing. In recent years, I have come to believe I got thru my experience because of the witness of my parents and people like this young man. I met many people in my youth who lost their vision, but not their commitment to life and to being productive people, this is a lesson our country needs to re-learn right now.

Great story, and I am proud to contribute.]]>Jun 9th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/To hike it Blind with no assistance except a GPS device voice activated. Are you kidding me!! Really!! WOW....GO Mike Go~ I am 57 year old guy who runs 3 miles a day and works out daily. I could not imagine doing what Mike is doing. Incredible.
Such as the teenager who climbed mountain top, teenagers who sail around the world. It simply is amazing....]]>Jun 9th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/
Do not your situation, but 10 years ago at 53 I suffered 2 detached retinas. Thankfully, here in Atlanta there were terrific doctors and systems to support my trauma. My recommendation without knowing your situation is to take action. With detached retinas, technology has improved so much, you can get most of your vision restored, but you must act. If you need contacts, let me know, I can put you in touch with some of the finest eye doctors in the South.

Most of all, have faith, and take action.

Good luck brother]]>Jun 9th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/]]>Jun 9th 2010 5:02PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/Jun 9th 2010 5:06PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/Jun 9th 2010 5:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/Otherwise he might not see a bear coming for him, or an inbred Hillbilly, playing a banjo.]]>Jun 9th 2010 5:27PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/Jun 9th 2010 5:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/http://www.switched.com/2010/06/09/blind-hiker-battles-hardships-on-appalachian-trail-updates-face/Jun 9th 2010 5:42PM
