There was not only a shadow but also colored lights appearing. Long story short, I was having a retina detachment and had surgery Nov 16th. When the doc got into the procedure, he discovered as many as 6 tears around my retina. Had I waited even another day, I would have lost sight in that eye completely. He said there is no certain cause for this kind of thing, sometimes it just happens. My recovery is to lay on my side for 18 hours a day for two weeks, no flying, no lifting, no changing altitudes at all.
I am now hearing of a few other people who are experiencing the same thing. If you see lights flashing around, you may want to get your eyes checked out. My doctor is a young man and I told him i thought the flashing lights were "spiritual". You should have seen his face. That was the only humorous bright spot in this whole ordeal.
I have 2 possibly three major outreaches coming up in Jan, Feb and March. I am praying for complete restoration and healing. I've cancelled all of my meetings until the end of January. Because of these cancellations of events (that go directly into these outreaches and ministry) your financial help and donations are, as always, greatly appreciated.
Presently, I only have next to zero visiblity out of my left eye, but doc says it was only improve from here. I may develop a cataract that will also need to be removed. Please check your eyes. the flashes could be fluid seeping into your eye from torn places in your retina.
