I had color blindness. Doc suggested a lot of prescriptions, which were so exhaustive to medicate. One prominent thing I learned from the treatment was the importance of GREEN in our life. Doc advised me to walk over the green grass, look at green trees and stuff. My momma, being extra caring, like everybody else’s, went too serious for this. She changed the curtains, bed-sheets, tablecloth, serviettes; everything GREEN. Well, thanks to her. I can visualise colors more vibrantly, now. She’s a genius!
