Beth Williams - Calligrapher

I stopped in at the Mancos, Colorado co-op gallery and was struck by Beth Wheeler's calligraphy.

I've had my eye (I only have the right one left) out for someone to do a Thank You for Dr. Lin, the surgeon who refused to do a cornea transplant on my left and explained why, but accepted the job of fixing the cataract in my right.

I called Beth and we discussed the project. She became enthused and we made a deal.

I CAN SEE!!

Kenn Louie jokes that he had a roofing nail go into his eye wrong end first.


Dr. Lin not only put it back together, but he took out the cataract as well. They said it was gonna be a half-hour job, but it ended up taking four hours. But Kenn got his eyesight back.

I figured Dr. Lin was the man for my cornea transplant. But he said there was too much risk of rejection in my current lifestyle and he wouldn't do it. But he agreed to fix the cataract in the right. Now, four days after surgery, I feel like I've been reborn.

Thank you to Kenn Louie for telling me about Dr. Lin. And immeasurable gratitude to Dr. Lin and the amazing team at Byers.
