Synopsis

This intimate look into a seemingly surreal series of events is thought provoking, honest and at times heart wrenching. The journey from shock and loss through discovery and acceptance to end in a place of comfort and confidence thereby enabling this woman to smile once again when she looks at her reflection in the mirror. This passionate real life account is a must read for any one suffering a body part loss.

Me, Myself & Eye is the blending and acceptance of:

ME, the physical body  ---  MYSELF, the emotional mind and  ---  EYE, the prosthesis into a complete and healthy being.

Find out what’s it’s like to fight for years only to lose. Learn the true realities of living with a prosthetic eye.  Discover camouflaging techniques and how the movements of a pet can help.  Understand the trickery of the mind.  Learn how a few celebrities used this loss to their advantage and how you too can inspire others. Remember a handicap is defined as an added advantage or disadvantage --- it’s all up to you!
