Seeking the Light

I had my first treatment to restore the eyesight in my left eye today. The doctors think I developed this vision problem -- optic neuritis -- as the first symptom of M.S. The bad news? Earlier in the year I hit the Disease Lottery and developed diabetes, and today's treatment sent me back to the hospital with a diabetic reaction. The good news: My sight is a little better! Yay!!!! I'll have to start taking injections of insulin for the 3-week duration of my eye treatment, but who cares? I get my sight back!

 

I've put up two versions of this photo to see what people think. One's a black and white, the other selective color I think they capture different moods. Thoughts?
