Dear Sir/Madam,

It is with a grateful heart that I sincerely thank you for the gift of improved sight. On July 9, 2007 I was the recipient of Corneal Tissue for DSEK surgery, performed by Dr. G. Rocha in Brandon, MB.

I am a 63 year old grandmother of eight with Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy that impaired my sight to the point of not being able to drive, an avid reader that could no longer read without the use of a strong magnifying glass. Since surgery to my right eye, I can read stories to my grandchildren, enjoy a good book and drive in the daytime.

There are no words to adequately say thank you.

If possible I would like to thank the family that so generously donated their loved one’s cornea. What a wonderful gift. If it is not possible for me to write to them would you please pass on my sincere thanks.

I am now waiting to have surgery on my left eye and look forward to the day that I will have improved vision in both eyes.

Thanks you once again.

Sincerely

Marilyn Ostmoen.
