Blind for 21 years, she regains site after spinal surgery

Posted by | May 14, 2016 18:00 | Filed under: Good News Planet


Mary Ann Franco lost her sight after spinal damage from an auto accident.

After surgery to repair the damage to her neck caused by the fall, she awoke to the view of a sailboat gliding on a lake past her window.

Uncomfortable from the surgery, she asked the nurse ‘wearing purple’ for medication. It was the first time she indicated she could see.

‘I said, “Lady, you with all that purple on you, give me something for pain”.

‘And my niece says, “What did you say, Mary?”,’ she told ABC 25.

Not only had Franco’s vision returned, but she could also see color for the first time. Franco was colorblind her whole life.
