Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Folks, I'm talking to Mickey Robinson.

The book is falling into heaven.

And Mickey, you've got a new book called Supernatural Courage, activating spiritual

bravery to win today's battle.

I want to talk about that, but first I want to keep going on falling into heaven and this story.

So you said that a doctor said to you that your eye is dead you're never going to see in your

right eye again i mean when a doctor says that uh they're not trying to be negative they're just

trying to tell you the truth uh what what was healed about the third month after the accident.

Yeah.

And the eye was burned.

The eyelids were burned off.

My eye was all retracted like this.

You know, I couldn't see.

So the cornea was damaged and I was blind.

So all of a sudden I could start to seal a bit.

And in 15 minutes I was in surgery, they took a frozen graph off a cadaver

and they cut off and they sewed it on they removed my damaged cornea and they sewed that that on

and they made eyelids from skin behind my ear and they sewed the whole thing to save the eye

because the eye was going to burst and drain out the I was going to burst and drain out. Did you have to say that? That's so disgusting. I'm sorry. No, no, no. It's just like, obviously, it's so amazing. And, you know, people don't normally talk about this stuff. And they were worried about infection traveling in the optic nerve and getting the other eye. So it was to save the eye. So the doctors give you the cornea of a cadaver. Right. You can't see out of that because it looked like one big cataract, blueish little veins growing in it. And so for five years, five and a half years, I was blind in that eye. Now, it worked. They made the eyelids and they still, they a little, they refused to open all of it up there.

They could, but, but later on when I'm having reconstructive surgery, you know, so first it was

just survival, then it was a little bit more survival, and then it was reconstructive surgery.
